Best thing you can do to avoid fuel getting old and gooey is avoid fuel getting old.

Like I said I took the carbs off cleaned them , sealed the tank , so the fuel isn't that old and was super unleaded so the best that could be done was done ...but the fingers crossed attitude after the tank dumped it's gunge in the float bowls before it was sealed is at fault here .
Crossing ones fingers an fitting new float needles is no substitute for doing the job properly!
That's you are all thinking , but to polite to say

All the float and main jets were new and never run in earnest .

Obviously I'll be out until about 8pm ,Smand will probably at the stables from dinner time on but can nip back if you give her a bell.
Or I'll leave 'em in the porch along with you Hans Muth book!
