No worries just checking. If the jets have blocked that quick, it suggests to me you've got either fine sediment in the tank and or the filter is falling or both.
You need to run some fuel off into a light coloured cup from the main feel to the carbs, the carb side of the filter and check what's in the bottom. Before you do that disconnect the fuel line to the float bowls and give the bike a good shake so as to stir up the fuel in the tank. As quick as you can run off some fuel. If it's got sediment in it you need to drain the tank and check for corrosion, if you have it will just get worse and keep blocking the jets.
If it's not to bad flush and treat the tank, look on line there's several methods, pick one the suits you, failing that you may have to replace the tank. Biggest cause of tank corrosion is dents, if they are deep enough they crack the inner coating and rust, look for filler.
The fuel in the tank can be reused, just run it into a fuel can and allow it to settle. Once the tank is repaired of changed, slowly pour the fuel into a glass jug and then back into the tank, making sure any sediment stays in the jug.
