I know you've said the carbs are fresh from refurbing but I had the same problem centre cylinder as well, did all the usual timing (Accent ignition) new plugs, plug leads checked etc etc. Took the carbs off and put the bowl into an ultrasonic cleaner and lo and behold a load of crap came out of the passages in the casting. I can only assume that the first tank of fuel had a load of detritus in. Baz will have tested them with a known very clean fuel source.
Hi BATTS ,thanks for the reply,as you mentioned Baz will have done all the internals and test so I'm 100% confident that the problem is elsewhere,there's no spark on the centre plug and after the quick blast there was a unspent fuel drip at the center pot exhaust joint underneath the bike ,I'll know better when I get a new plug in
Cheers MrB

Just had a look at Halfords site and they stock the correct iridium spark plug for a kettle for £10, plus they've an offer of £10 off your next purchase, so three plugs for your triple for £20.
I do like a bargain
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".
