is the float level set at the right height???

this might be another thing just to check, was talking to a mate and he said that a guy he knew put the auxilary venturis in the wrong way and it ran like a dog, was spitting fuel out absolutely everywhere. just maybe check that...

Dont spose you have a spare single sidedraft manifold to suit a crossflow??

cheers

this is a good point maybe ask your friendly motorcycle mechanic to help you with your carb problems as bike mechanics are alot better with carbs as bikes havent been fitted with efi for as long as cars have.
