Understood on the carb sync, read somewhere about bringing the revs up on the intake I know that for the future. Careful what you read I guess.
Appreciate the advice, got a couple of jobs for the weekend ahead.
If you ever get round to changing your caps, you can get a set for no more than £12 on Ebay, you just need to choose your colour.
The code you need is NGK SD05F

Thanks Darrsi, that code for the caps will be useful.
I think fuel pump is first priority, not running well at all today, sporadic at idle and sounding like starved at times, pump is getting noisier every day. Strangely it was pulling a high vacuum than yesterday at first and running well, my guess is the pump isn't giving a consistent performance and that's knocking everything off.

you can bypass the pump to check for sure, its not essential but you'll just run out of fuel bit early, probably around quater tank left

If I get chance I'll give that a go tomorrow, I've ordered a pump as it's definitely on the way out just by the noise, so may wait for that now. I've put it all back together but don't know why as not planning on riding it until that fixed. Tried looking for arching in the dark and nothing

Quick update and a thanks for advice...
Last time I had it started on the drive it kept dropping to very low revs and back again repeatedly, as well as the fuel pump noise...not in a good place. Thought I'd check the plug caps especially after some of the last comments and yes they needing replacing. Two were showing good readings, one no reading at all and the last was bouncing around on resistance. Explains the revs dropping out. Sadly took two weeks for new caps to arrive hence the delay, they went on the evening they arrived along with a new fuel pump and it is riding well again. Albeit still noisy in my opinion.
MOT this Friday along with a good look over by local recommended mechanic, fingers crossed.
