After 1000 miles it's eventually run out of petrol.

Sounds like either no fuel getting to carbs or no spark.Pull a plug to check spark,and lift tank,open airbox to sniff for fuel.Try opening the drain taps on the carbs as well to see what comes out,if anything.Take it you have checked the obvious usual suspects like kill switch,cut out switches?
