Took carbs apart didnt see anything wrong inside all nice and clean,got the carb cleaner out anyway,all back together and blowing in the fuel inlet tip the carbs so needles drop air goes in tip the carbs up and needles shut cant blow any more...So carbs seem ok.Have an idea to get around the missing piece,will photo when done.

It could be the fuel pump allowing fuel to escape down the vacuum pipe that goes to the no1 cylinder inlet spigot Mick.
