Many thanks for the replies so far: The fuel pump is working now - I must have dislodged the connector whilst messing about with the carbs etc, waggled it and it now works fine.
I went for a run and found no leaks, came to rest and noticed a hissing from the tank so I checked the breathers and found one kinked
though that may have solved it but an hou or so later and the leak is back. I now think it is one (or more) of the float levels set wrong as it does seem to be seeping out of the joint between the carb body and bowl, but it is difficult to eliminate as the fuel seems to "track" all over the underside of the carbs/float bowl. Next step is to remove the carbs again and look at the float seatings and levels.
Once again many thanks for the help.
