Thanks for the extra info.
Yes the bike was running before being laid up and it was I who stripped off the carbs and I have found the two hoses (yay!) which connect to the upper (down-pointing) tails on the fuel rail but they are disconnected from anything else so once I connect them to the tails where should they then be going please ?

The interior of the carbs was coated in an emulsion that I assume came from the chemicals that they mix in with petrol but long story short the needles now move up and down fine as opposed to before.
The original problem was that the bike wouldn't run at all without lots of choke and would die as soon as the throttle was opened.

cheers

Hi all,

I've removed and cleaned my carbs following a long lay-up and am having memory issues about what connects to what and the manual is no help, so hoped the peeps on here might be able to help ?

Photo 1 shows two medium black tails up high that are expecting hoses to connect to them as well as a larger black recess in the middle of them that I am scratching my head about, and another brown medium tail lower down that I am expecting the feed from the fuel pump (and filter) to connect to.

Is that right and what are the black tails / recess for please ?

Photo 2 shows the underside where I've connected the coolant pipes to where I think they should go. Are they in the right places please ?

Photo 3 shows the cylinder side, does anything look wrong there please ?

Thanks for any assistance you can offer.
