I bought a couple carb kits for the bike, and today I just jumped in with both feet. I opened the shop manual, pulled the carbs (a whole adventure in itself) and slowly, carefully, surgically took them apart. The kit came with new jets, float valve and gaskets. It was pretty simple, really, just take the pieces that look alike, and swap the old with the new. To my very pleasant surprise, once the carbs were reinstalled, the bike started on the second kick, and purred like a lion. I took it around the neighborhood for a bit and it seems to be running smoother. It still needs some more work to get rid of all the roughness, but this was a good start.
Thanks Kristen for taking the photos of me!
