As mentioned in another recent post (about carb heaters on my 750C1) I had my carbs cleaned by someone who came on recommendation
Full inside and outside along with new seals, etc.
On getting them back, I noticed that one of the choke plungers wasn't seating correctly, so removed it to find the port was full of white particles.
I cleaned it through and of course should have been more suspicious than I was, and stripped the carbs...…but didn't
Last weekend I got the carbs back on the bike and managed to get it started (barely) with fuel coming out of the right hand overflow.
I drained the bowls and as well as fuel lots of the soda particles.
So carbs removed , stripped and cleaned, the soda was everywhere!
Back on the bike today- once the back was warmed up it was running pretty well.
The thing I notice is 2 of the cylinders fire up immediately but two don't, after a few minutes all are running and I can get the choke off and it ticks over nicely.
I let the bike cool and repeated and same situation (based on feeling the downpipes).
Anyone have an immediate thoughts on why only 2 fire up from the off??
thanks as always

Re: Soda but not the drink!
Quick update
It transpires that the soda is actually ceramic media and despite my best efforts with compressed air and .3 welding wire there are still recesses where I can see the media
The carbies have nowgone back to the ‘professional’ to go in his new ultrasonic bath!!
Apparently they are done and are on a courier heading back
