You turned the fuel filter the correct way round, thus releasing a load of
crap into the carbs. Try getting a new filter and cleaning the carbs again.

I cleaned the filter first natch, but good point. New filter might not
be a bad idea.
Also, any recommendations for carb cleaner? I just used petrol and
kept refreshing it till it didn't turn all murky.

Apparently you shouldn't use petrol, or meths[1] for that matter, as it
leaves a powdery residue when it evaporates. Paraffin was what was the
solvent of choice when I last did it but I dare say a tin of "Kracking
Karb Kleener" from your local Halfrauds would do the job exactly as it
says on the tin.
