any ideas?

Would suggest checking/adjusting ignition timing and valve clearances, and checking compression, all before getting to carbs. As carb function depends on these other things (and proper spark) all being correct, carbs should usually be the final tuning item.

If you take your carbs off and cant get your air box back on, its much cheaper to get pod filters than new boots. If you do get pod filters just remember to get bigger jets.
