daz like i told you , you need to fit a new float chamber fuel valve the bit i re set when you stopped in the moutain at newquay in the freezing mist .it was sticking in its guide so it needs replacing that tiny nylon bit wiv the brass bit on the end cheap as chips will solve everything and then you will have to re adjust the mixture back

maybe its not the carb on its own, could be a few thing put together that is doing it, maybe the head with bad sealing valves, have a compression test to see that one, ( i have the tool)
or the carbs are worn and need a rebuild
try what shawn said first it only cost a few pennies,(L2B next weekend) you can get the parts there,

plenty of other carbs laying around its just a float valve if another one is tight in the apparture then change the top float chamber lid too, you did say you had forced the supply pipe into the casting so it could be misshaped or warped a tad, just enough to make that valve stick anyways .
