thanks Iconic...
I changed out the fuel filter & started her up before I installed the petrol caps back(so I can see if everything looked right).
It quickly filled the filter back up w/fuel, but I noticed some bubbles coming up from underneath the fuel pump....somewhere between the pump & the bottom lower wall of the tank...not sure if it was from vibration or what.
Is that normal?
thanks anyone

Hmmmm.....having drained the system, there MUST be some air in there to be displaced but - I'd have thought most of it would go forward to the carbs. I guess some could be trapped in the tank gubbins.

As long as this bubbling does not continue I would not worry too much.

Have you checked the fuel vent tube. Great little piece to look over, but oh so important. A small kink can limit the amount of full that can get sucked out. Just a thought. Also, the accelerator circuit on the carbs may be dirty leaving you high and dry at the light, but ready for normal launches.
