You can balance the carbs very accurately without expenditure by using a home made manometer. You just need a long length of plastic tube and some water....
I have eventually decided to put it in the capable hands of a mechanic mainly because I have absolutely nowhere to do the work and don't fancy getting cold n wet doing it out in the road. So .... fork out some hard earned and hopefully it'll all be sorted.
