GSX750 carb problem

I finally got my carbs to work,took the bike for an MOT test. On the way it again started to misfire.
Restripped the carbs and I had sticky goo in the float bowls.I think this came from the tank as I had just cleaned it out,some sealant I expect.
Now for the problem.After cleaning and refitting the carbs the only way I can get No3 cylinder to run is to screw in fully the pilot screw
Carbs stripped down again but can't see any problem,nothing missing,just maybe the pilot jet wasn't 100% fully seated. Any ideas and thanks for looking.
 
Let's make sure here... The pilot jet lurks inside fuel bowl (and it's fully seated) covered by rubber plug. The idle/air mixture screw is on carb throat exit side and could be 2 to 4 turns off fully seated spot. #1 carb is the one under clutch hand lever.
If your tank is still passing goop to carbs, you might want to use an inline filter for a while.
 
Thanks for replying Tom.I confirm everything you say.I should have said that the pilot jet might not have been fully tightened.I'm using a remote petrol tank and have made float bowl level tubes along with a jig to set the float hight and a tool to hold the throttle open to ease the cable fitment.,I've had the carbs off that many times without true success.New air box rubbers also fitted. I was hoping to find the jet or rubber bung missing and make this an easy fix.
