If it starts up ok then I would check that all the hoses are clear of debris and gunk and not kinked and replace them. I realise that you have said before that you have checked them but if it is mayonaise type gunk it is hard to clean it out properly and replacement hose is cheap.
Think my new fuel cap is possibly due today, so if that turns up i'll sort that out for starters.
And i'm gonna use a pipe from my CarbTune kit with a can of compressed air and fix it to the metal vent nipples underneath the tank and blow air upwards and see if it comes out okay at the top.
On my bike the tank vent/overflow nipples are lowered into a rubber cup to avoid kinking issues, so the hoses that run downwards from that cup should in no way be kinked as i've never needed to displace them but i'll most certainly check if they're gunked up with anything. On earlier models they do have pipes coming off the tank which i know were prone to accidentally being kinked, if not routed correctly or pulled downwards when the tank is lowered.
