One trap for the unwary is that the design for the floats changed from SU at some point. The original floats have a metal arm kixed onto the plastic float. The replacement floats are made in one piece without any metal at all. The problem is that it changed the geometry, if you have the modern type float, you need the matching lid. New float + old lid = flooding carb.

Also check that the forks on the throttle spindles are adjusted properly, the pins on the throttle lever should be completely free in the forks at idle.
