Curvy running issue.
 
I took the SV out last week and it was running fine but I ran out of petrol pretty much as I turned into my drive when I got back.

Have put some fresh petrol in this morning, it starts and idles at about 1k but if I try and rev it a little it'll go to about 2.5k and then dies if I try it with the choke it wont even start.
When it is idling it feels fine but when I raise the revs it feels quite lumpy like it's running on 1 cylinder

Any ideas?

Drain carbs until you get clean fuel coming through

Yeah not with any real purpose if you see what I mean? Only took it out last week for it's MOT.

Feels much better (even with mismatched tyres) especially with the SRAD front end which I 've also done only a hand full fo miles on.

Are the SRAD forks revalved or stock?

Standard USD forks but had new seals and oil last year

I am revalving mine soon. Will let you know how much difference it makes. It is not hard to change.
