Check EVERYTHING such as idle screw settings, needle clip settings. The downside of buying an old bike is people have had a lot of time to "improve" it. Also check for a stuck choke plunger as my front one is way worse than the back, though all this really does it richen it up a bit, it doesn't cause real running problems.

Carbs were balanced after they were back on of course. Didn't do them myself, but had it done at a mates garage. Choke cable was also replaced as it was duff, but I shall have a check of it again.
I'll give everything you suggest a go. I'm confident the bike will be purring after I've been through it. I'm even planning to rewire the whole thing just for good measure and a bit of practice
