Bit of an update. Decided that the carbs did need to come off as:coolant hoses all needed replacing, bike sat for 3 years before I had it and several little idle/running issues including running rich. (Pipe is black and sooty)
Carbs are off. Cleaning one at a time. Have an ultrasonic cleaner so going in there. Pilot jet on n01 carb blocked. Pretty clean other than that. No.2 float bowl full of crap. Looking forward to no3 as when I emptied the float bowls only a dribble came out of That!!
Interesting, there is a jet in each carb not mentioned in the haynes manual. After spending an age trying to unblock the jet with carb cleaner (and looking on here) I discovered that it's a blank?!! Bizarre!!
Anyway. Few pics
