Finally!!!!
Many thanks for all of your input. I checked all of the circuits, but I just couldnt believe that all four could be blocked.
Eventually I stripped the carbs again and checked all the specs. For some reason all of the floats were 3mm out of setting...!?
I had altered non of them....
I reset them and opened up the pilot half a turn to richen the mixture a bit. When I reassembled everything it started first time...
Bloody odd. Just for future reference any ideas why ALL the float heights were out of tolerance? Assuming they must have been that way prior to initial disassembly how come it ran ok before but not when I put it all back?
The only thing I can think of is that because the bike was running ever leaner the last owner compensated by increasing the fuel input through the pilot jet. But if so, how come there was no problems with the throtle response?
Like I said, I am confused,
Many thanks for your time,
Dave Lomax
