Have you checked the float level is correct? What colour is the spark plug - black and horrible or clean and white?

I agree with the fuel issue diagnosis. I took the carbs off and fiddled a few times and it seemed to improve a little each time so I sent the carbs to a garage. They didn't have an ultrasonic cleaner but they did soak them and clean them up. They changed the gaskets etc but not the jets. I had previously had the jets out and they were clean as far as I could tell.
I know about float level but have no idea what it should be set to. I'm thinking it needs checking as I fiddled a lot before knowing what I was doing.
