Replaced fuel filter. Noticed when the fuel ran out the old filter it was orange in colour. I think my problem is rust in fuel tank. When i looked in fuel tank it looks spotless, so it must have rust at the bottom :\
If it's broken, it's not fixed.

if you take the tank of and remove the tap and fuel guage sender you can flush it out quite easily  :D  se what comes out  ;) has the bike been sat around for a while  :)

I'm going to take tank off and drain. I've just bought the bike, so i don't really know how long its been lying.

Flushed the tank out. The fuel had loads of rusted flakes of metal in it, so i completely drained the tank and carb float bowls. Filled the tank with fresh fuel and went for a spin. To begin with it was pretty spluttery, but i think that was down to the fact carbs were drained and new fuel filter fitted. After about a 1/4 mile the bike ran sweet. Went out again this evening and same again revved out perfectly. I will hold back jumping for joy until i have used it for a few days, but it seems to be running much better :)

mmmmmmmmmmm not good :\ ...................at last i had some spare time in the garage :D  i used the colour tune on three of the four cylinders (cant seam to reach cyl 3 easily) and set a little bit rich, iam more or less on 5 turns  :\  so start it up and i have a big stutter at 5/6000 in neutral on the center stand  :\  just like hitting a rev limiter and wont pull through  :'(
 so i put the mixture screws back to 4 turns (its been running that for the last 30,000 miles) and no change :\
   ive made things worse and i dont know why  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

I balanced the carbs on mine this afternoon. While hooking up the vacuum gauges to the take-off points on the inlet manifolds I found the little rubber caps had perished quite badly:

I don't think they'd quite gone all the way through, the one I tried sucking on was OK anyway... I didn't test the others 'cos I didn't like the taste. :)
As a precaution I smeared some silicone sealant into the cracks.
With all the dismantling and checking you've been doing I don't suppose that sort of thing would have missed your notice, but thought I'd mention it anyway as a possible cause of a weak mixture.
