Hi I've got a beta evo 250 2011 it's not been used over Xmas so I've removed the carb to clean with compressed air now it will only run and rev clean with the choke on?? If no choke the bike bogs down and stalls there is plenty of fuel coming from the fuel line and just fitted a new plug with good spark any ideas wot the problem is?

If it has to run on choke it's not getting enough fuel or more than likely  it's got too much air - it'll be an air leak from the carb to engine... Is the rubber boot between the carb and engine the right way round?...on the 4t it is designed to fit only one way round...there is only a slight difference on each end of the boot but there is a difference.

Not sure if it will make a difference but the fuel tank often gains pressure and makes a hissing sort of noise until I open the tank filler cap 

You may have found it then. Try running it with the cap off. If that solves it, you've got a blocked breather.

Spot on,if the air cannot get into the fuel tank through the breather(it works both ways as well as letting fuel vapour out) the bike may run for a while then build up a partial vacuum and prevent the fuel from draining under gravity through the fuel tap and into the carb.

 The Kiehin carb can get a clogged pilot circuit that cannot be fixed. Number one quit blowing air, that is usually the thing people have in common when the carb becomes trashed. They all used air. Try contact cleaner , not carb cleaner  blown through the pilot circuit. There are two holes it should come out of, just under the slide and just in front of the slide. If these are not flowing then it is clogged internally. You could take the tower off. (The part with security torx screws) but beware the oring inside is unavailable. Another test would be to see if the tower leaks. Which you could submerse it  and blow air into the circuit. Trying another carb could help just to make sure where the issue is. Comepletly tearing down the carb,  and removing the tower and soaking the carb body in carb cleaner might fix it if you are lucky.
