Right....pulled the carbs apart to replace the O rings. The current rings look to still be in good condition (only got as far as the emulation tube/slide holder, carb top, float bowl 7.5mm and float bowl 5.5 O rings) so i haven't done the pilot jet screw yet. I'm reluctent to mess with the jet settings unless it is likely to me the problem.
The needles and tubes look in good condition and I think all the jets are clear as far as I can see.

So as the running is only bad when the throttle is open (fine on idle) does anyone have any ideas?

cheers
