Misfire

You mention earlier that you are on your 4th fuel filter and second fuel pump rebuild in three or four years ... and then you report that your carbs are full of silt again and an idle jet is blocked.
Therefore I'm thinking that your tank must contain rather a lot of debris.
Have you ever drained and flushed it ?

For comparison, my 750 has done over 30,000 miles and is still on only its second fuel filter (original plus one change) and has never had its fuel pump rebuilt.

Sorry to hear that your's is giving you so much trouble.
Hope you get it sorted soon.
They are a lovely bike when they're running well.
