Then move to the carbs looking for blocked main jet/s and emulsion tube/s and holed diaphragm/s these can be tiny and will get you the very symptoms you've got.

Its all in here remove the main jets and clean do the same with the emulsion tubes they are held in by the main jets takes mins.

If the emulsion tubes are blocked it's not always easy to spot the holes are tiny and you need good light and eye's best way is with a magnifying glass.  It's also possible that the fuel/air passageways within the carb body have become blocked I've had this before and it not possible to see it you just have to blow them out.

ah yes this is what the `sonic clean man` has said,adding that commpressed air still may not clear it,this is what i used,thats why he reconmends the sonic clean with a 3hr soak....i like to do all the work on my bikes myself so i know exactly whats been done and what needs to be done,this will be the first time in 10yr ownership that its been fettled by someone else....ive known him for several years and know he will do a good job with back-up afterwards if i need it...ill let you know how i get on.............

took the carbs up to be sonic cleaned at lunch time,got a call from pete the mechanic saying he did`nt think the carbs needed the sonic clean as they were clean already,he did however notice a small brass needle guide was missing on no 1 carb i must have dislodged it when i cleaned them out myself it sits in the bottom half of the carb acting as a guide for the needle,without it petrol is just going to flood in....pete described it as pi**ing in a bucket...good description....i could have solved the stutter by cleaning the carbs but created another by loosing the guide,the part is available from yam at £25 +vat :eek ....i`ve had a look on the garage floor but cant find it,bit like needle in a haystack ,i`ll get pete to order it in the morning might get here by friday..........

a small brass needle guide

That sounds like the needle jet or was it the emulsion tube?

I'm sure the Yamaha price is daft but is it like the Dynojet kits which are about a £100 when you could achieve the same result buying jets, shims for needles etc yourself for sod all by comparison. There'll be more than one bike the uses Mikuni BSR33's surely?

the brass fitting is like a top hat and is a push fit into the bottom of the carb above the main jet,if you remove the main jet and emulsion tube and look down the hole you will see it,acts as a guide,will see if i can find out its proper name.....going to order the part today...............never used a dynojet kit before so not sure what parts are included.

Sorry the point i was making (badly) is that there's no need to pay so much for a needle jet same with dynojet kit. £100 for some jets and what not, I wouldn't.

I have found over the years that the pluck caps loosen on the leads and can give a bit of hesitancy and sharpness is gone.. Many wrongly assume the caps give trouble and change them when all it needs is the following: Remove the caps from the leads cut a 1/2 inch off the end of the leads and screw them back on again. Water in the carbs can also cause the issue if the bike is used in the rain a lot or stored outside in the rain. Draining the float bowls and changing the fuel filter will solve this. Water lodges in the filter as it is resting on its side and can get picked up by the carbs when it hits the power band arounf 7000 revs
The above can also cause the odd backfire when starting from cold.
Check the TPS setting especially after balancing the carbs.

thank for the tps setting tip,not touched that yet,i did trim the leads before i fitted the new caps,as you say the caps had come loose a bit with nothing to grip on,also the ends of the leads were very hard.....thanks for the advice :)
