Have you checked that the starting jet plungers are firmly closed, and
that the accelerator pump mechanism hasn't jammed in some way? Relying
on my overworked memory again, I think that there are paths through the
carb that can just syphon fuel through if the wrong jets are left open.

Yup, done that, never had a problem. Maybe I never went round corners
fast enough though. (Ho ho ho)

Clean it out and check it over carefully, followed by retune on the dyno
sounds good.

If that's the reprint of the Passini books, you can't more real-world.
