Don't you have fuel stabilizer in the UK? In the US we have some stuff called 
Stabil, and others as well, which when added to the tank, and run enough to 
get into the carburettors, works quite well to prevent varnish build-up. We 
used to see varnish in the new Triumphs shipped here, after their factory 
start-up test, with unstabilized fuel-often requiring a carburettor overhaul 
bofore being sold, but haven't heard so much about it lately.
