Not sure what happened about misfiring on No3, maybe that was sorted when I replaced plug leads. 
  Finally narrowed the problem down to carbs. During the second removal of the carbs I noticed that the inside of the head ports was wet on 1 and 2 and dry on 3 and 4..... it turned out that the choke linkage between the 2 carbs had slipped and the front carb was running with choke open so (I guess) flooding 1 and 2 (although the plugs looked healthy). 
  Anyway she is now purring like a kitten (after all the tuning and setting of gaps, timing etc) and we are getting ready for the trip to Nairobi Concours next week.
  When I get the time, I intend to put together a "misfiring check list" in the meanwhile, a big thank you to all listers who provided assistance in finding the gremlin. 
  Cheers,
  Chris (discarded-the-matches) Buckley
