The new beasty has an awful hesitation at low revs and low trottle openings. Its almost like when its cold and you don't have the choke on but not as bad

When i got it first it was belching out petrol from the back but a good thrashing sorted that.

I get the feeling its still flooding itself up a bit. I've never had much experience with carbs so don't know hwere to start with it. Is there just some adjustment for fuelling or what?

the petrol belching out the back was water, it may have smelt like petrol but if it was petrol there would have been very large flames.

If you take th eplenum off (3 10mm nuts) you will probably find its a mess of oily crap and probably white gunge from the breather, clean all that crap away then if its still doing it adjust the mixture screw which is on the drivers side roudn the back of the carb.

Further messing about shows it needs the choke on all the time

If it needs adjusted thats easy enough
