Stink oi found carb prob...
Pilot jet was "loose".
It just fell out instead of unscrewing (no force applied).
Cock badgers!!!!
Weirdly it was still in tut hole even though it looks like its been flapping around in there for a while.
Any suggestions? ಠ︵ಠ
It should look loike this (squiggly bit still deeply embedded in carb):

I await Mr Henty's advice on removal technique.
I've an idea, but it seems a bit fraught with danger.

Can you twat a torx screwdriver up it's rectum and undo with that, the brass should be soft enough to get a grip.
Easyout types will likely expand the brass and make it tighter.

Little buzzer buzzing the bits good. Just having initial tests with warm water while waiting for carb goo to arrive for cleaner and already shifting plenty of crud that carb cleaner spray missed.
Think with a bit of wriggling oil be able to buzz carb body too section by section.

Put it in a big yoghurt pot or some such with water/cleaner and put that in the buzzer, also with water.

This tiny ultrasonic doohickey is ace. I ran it with just water and it did a great job. The water started looking clear at the end of the process. Then i got special carb cleaner and a whole load more crud came out.
Carbs now beautifully clean and waiting for new pilot jet before rebuild....

That lille ultrasonic thing really worked well. Very surprised. All bits had multiple baths. I used just warm water to start which did great. Then added some specific for carbs goo to the bath and that shifted even more crud.
