It hope this will help
I need to know what size jet I should

In your first post, it's hard to tell if the carbs are connected to an air filter or filter pods. The second post shows no air filter box or pods. Are you trying run this bike with no air filter before the carbs?!

[Pat29p3]

Won't run with filter on
I got some pods

I know this is a pretty common thing for everyone to ask, but have you checked the valve lash? When they get tight they will get harder to start and may need you to cover the ends of the carbs or use starting fluid to get them to start.

And welcome to the site!

Thank you and I didn't
I do that straight away and come back to you

Nice looking bike!

Well after I did valve clearance which was very tight. it run a bit better then I swap for a smaller main jet 97.5 drill to 105 and drop needle to the last setting it ran like a rocket with straight 4 to 1 exhaust and no filters am very impressed with handling and performance also the throttle response 😊
Which I can't really believe it a four hundred four?
Don't not sure may be the carbs don't belong to this?
Many thanks to all
