Well I've done the clearances with help from my Dad. I'm getting the proper tool next time, locknuts are the worst.
That was 100% the problem though. Bike runs so well from a cold start with needing very little choke and no stalling problems! Also way more power in the midrange. They were way too tight before. There's absolutely no signs of needing a carb sync but I'll do it anyway when I get a chance and maybe tighten those idle mix screws a bit now that I realise that was never the problem.
