I disassembled the carbs and I can say that the TWO setting are coherent.
Using the Triumph method the level was 4mm below joint: 5.5 mm below the standard.
Using the Haynes method the height was 20mm: 5.5 mm higher than the standard.
Now I tuned the level to 14.5mm for all carbs.
I verify that the all part was in stock (Needle N3RF, main 98, pilot 38).
I cleaned the jet using carburetor cleaner spray.

I have the OEM air box with no holes.
The filter is made by foam, but I don't know if it is OEM.
What is it the pod filter ?

This is the first potential problem which warred me.
I suppose that the rust should clog the gasoline filters before clogging the jet.
But I found the gasoline filters in good condition.
Anyway the trouble are not finished.
The carburetors of the right cylinder is little bit dirty on the engine side, the diaphragm is not in good condition and the corresponding spark plug is black.
I suppose that the inner valve clearance is too close.
Probably I will have to adjust the valve, but I don't have the valve shim removal tool.
I did the valve adjustment on another motorbike having shims under bucket.
Can I use a similar approach for changing the shim above the bucket ?
I mean:
1) remove chain tensioner
2) loose camshaft
3) Change the shims
Have the shims the size printed on them ?
Thank you very much.
You helped me so much.
Sorry for my bad English, I live in USA until 7 months.
