Have you sprayed round the inlet joints to the head an all that with wd40 or something? Sorry if you have already done this but its quite common for the gasket to leak here.

On the solex carbs the rubber diaphrams in the dashpots quite often rot and could be causing your problem.

The SU carbs should be a straight swap.
