Most of the problems associated with missfires / rough running from bikes that have stood for a comparativelly short time are from the petrol contaminating the small cross-drillings within the carb body.
The various additives settle out & forms a laquer that can not be cleaned out by air blasting / pipe cleaners etc.
On any old bike that has stood for a while, rather than spend loads of money & time on the above probelms, strip the carbs to basics & get them ultra-sonic cleaned.
It made a massive difference to my old gixer.

The bike was a cheap resto job . I've had it only about 8 month but its all done and back together . Had it started and through the gears when I got it but never got my arse on it . Had it running tonight sounded quite sweet . So happy ,
Where in the north east would I be able to get it done .? The bike is a honda 90 s 1966 not many about , so I'm goin to spend a bit more on it think it may be a keeper . Ta

As its all back together, it might be OK.
But the ultimate test is how it is on the road.
You may be lucky & not need them doing.
I have had mine done as a favour from a mate who works for a filter company.
Check on the web, I think there are loads of people who can do it.
