Finally got it running. It appears that the problem was hydraulic locking.
The rear two carbs are gushing petrol. Presumably the float needles are not closing off the supply and the lack of pressure keeps the pump pumping.
Are the Solex carbs easy to service? Are parts available?
Just to make life easy the starter button isn't working and I am having to short the two solenoid terminals to turn the starter motor over
