Remove the reed block, take a flash light and shine it into the cage and if you see light on the other side your reeds aren't holding closed. I'd just replace them while it's apart.
Sounds like carbs good man, maybe vent tube is clogged or plugged. Seems like I've ran into this problem before.
Someone probably has a set of malossi or polini reeds they'll sell you cheap.

Ok checked reeds and there fine, I did notice a tad it of oil leaking from the carb. Is this normal? Coming out between the carb and filter box.

They do that over time.
Open the bowl drain and see if you can get that fuel to flow down there. You have the line from the intake to the lower nip on the fuel petcock and gas line from carb to top nip on petcock?
