Just to thank everyone for their assistance. Bike now runs really well. Ended up buying another pair of carbs from Ebay in the US. The pictures on Ebay looked better than they actually where though.

Thanks for the ongoing help. Just double checked the flow from the petcock to each carb and that seems OK. Also checked the fine mesh filter in the banjo on each carb and they where OK as well.
