Well pulled the carbs and suprise suprise the diaphrams are fine , but the jets and needles are worn and the float bowls were held on with a mix of stripped m4 hex heads and self tapping screws ( used carbs may be on the cards) and the carb tops m5 hex heads were stripped and glued in place.
Managed to clean everything and bodge them back together fill them from a remote fuel source and it started on the second kick and ticked over.
Needs a huge amount of work but thinking 18" xs500 rear wheel , 18" rd/xs400 front wheel and yamaha fzs600 front end and brakes, plus UK spec tank and a 2:4 style seat plus european spec flatter bars and clocks
As a plus point it was professionaly rewired about 18 years ago and fitted with electronic ignition and it turns out the work was done by an old mate of mine at his bike shop not long before he died aged 50 with a heart attack
