Need more info. List what you did, maybe someone will spot something.

Possibly a partial kink in the fuel line as well, let us know some more info, did you add anything (fuel filters, new gaskets and orings, and how much did you dig into on your carb clean)

As everyone said, not much info.. But, I think I'd take a look at what you did, it may be in there somewhere.. Overall, it appears like a fuel delivery issue, such as, vacuum line, petcock, vent line, fuel line, etc..

Try leaving the fuel cap slightly open, if the problem goes away, you have a kinked vent hose. |

What was the bike running like before the carbi clean? The reason for the carbi clean?
By clean I take it you had the carbs off and a full strip down.

Checked it again the following day and can't get it to rev much over 3500 (stationery) before it starts to drop away. Had fuel go off. Will pull the carbs again. |

The carbs were fully stripped but I think the fuel may have gone off since. I will pull them again and check. I now starts to run out of puff at around 3500 rpm stationery. |

Sounds like super lean mixture, is the airbox stock? Not missing the foam pad in the intake section odf the top cover?
Other than that are the rubber inlet tubes from airbox on correctly? Also check all the hoses under the airbox are hooked up, any air entering into airbox other than the the standard inlet will cause a lean condition and low maximum RPM.
How was the bike running before stripping the carbs?
Cheers Steve

Seems to me a good possibility of a petcock problem, not getting much feedback from you, have you checked or rebuilt it? That is an easy fix if it's the problem. We need more info than you seem willing to give? Hoser  |

It is common to either break a tube or get a tube from the back side of teh carb to the airbox NOT on all the way so its sucking air. Bat senses say look with a flashlight and a mirror before and after install to make sure all is TIGHT. You dont need to be adjusting the carburators to try to compensate for open air sucking connections in there

If you added a fuel filter and did not cut off some of your fuel line you made your fuel line longer by the length of your filter and you may have a kink in the fuel line

We need more info than you seem willing to give? Hoser The fuel valve was replaced with a Pingel. I have gone back to the drawing board I think the fuel may have gone off again. |

I doubt the fuel has gone off that bad that it will not run, how long has the fuel been in it?
Still would like to know how the bike was running before you did the carbs and how long has the bike been sitting after the carb work. Did it run properly after the carb work and then start to play up?

The carbs were originally pulled owing to bad fuel . It then sat for a few months after the carb work was done. I am in Australia and fuel going off is a real problem. I think we finish up with all the fuel no one else wants. |

Sorry for the delay . I am new to this board and wasn't sure how to reply. I now thinking that I have an issue with bad fuel. It now starts to run out of puff around 3500 Rpm while stationery. I will pull the carbs again and possibly fit a Desmog kit while I am at it. |

Your area is not listed in your profile, I am in Aus as well and have no issues with fuel.
Have you been using E10?
