hi there .
i have a simlar thing going on with my a1 .i thought it may have been through not having a fuel solonoid on mine and was going to get hold of one but i put a thread on here the other day just to check it out and there seems to be no need for it there .i always knew they had an underlying heat problem with the fuel in the carbs when you stop .
i must admit that back in 1979 when i had a new one for 2 yrs cant recall this sort of thing ever going on ,it worked without any troubles.
but now i know i will be willing to try the 4 turns out deal just to see if it helps.i have owned the bike for 3 yrs now and with diffrent things cropping up on it here and there i have not been very far on it since the ride home when i bought it .it is a far smoother ride than my z1 so finger crossed it may get some more road time .
if we could keep in touch on the carb deal that would be good with the fuel.
cheers
