Tank was treated & painted inside .
Petrol tap is new.
petrol hoses are new.
Carbs where taken apart and soaked a few times. Air pressure blasted and all the rest (using a wire etc.).

I would check to see if the float needle has slipped from the groove the two wires on top of the float rest in. I have had this problem before and have to remove the needle, pinch the two wires together and reinsert the needle. If you have the lever tops, make sure the float has the small washer on top.
