      There are a few brits on here incl some ex-pats like me...

      1-4 and 2-3 share coils so it would seem that you diagnosis on fuel delivery could be it... Also check the HT leads and plug caps. They have been known to go bad.

      Make sure you replace all the O-rings when you have the carbs apart. You also may have a crack in the T that joins the carb bodies together causing that leak. Make sure there are no air leaks too.

      Looks like it probably has a 4:1 pipe on it - if airbox is stock you may not need to up Jet sizes but it would be good to benchmark what jets you have in there.

        Looks like it might have later model fork legs (or maybe the 750 had dual brakes in England as stock.. they didn't here).
