Have finally gotten around to disassembling the carbs that I !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ...
Mostly went pretty smoothly, except for one screw :P impact stripped it, cutting a slot in it with a hack saw and trying to use a plain-blade failed, so out came the reverse-thread drill bit...
bastard. should be easy to replace though...
oh. that doesn’t look good... That right there is likely about 80% of the problem. I’m still kind of terrified that the gas washdown into the cylinder damaged the rings and/or liner... (if you can’t see, there is a pretty significant grove instead of a nice clean sealing cone.)
ew.
super ew.
gross.
well, time to order some parts and soak some things in carb cleaner. The mid-speed jets look awful, and there was a ton of crud in the bottom of the choke-side bowl, probably not quite deep enough to get sucked into the main jet, but ugly nonetheless...

From someone whose done hundreds of carbs-a couple of pointers-
Before you attempt to get the screws out, give them a quick smack. Find a drift with a nice flat end-rest it on the screw + give a quick hit with a hammer. And you haven’t taken the most importiant part to clean-the jet needle. Its the tube the needle rides in. It looks like in those carbs, its what your main jet screws into. you can tap them out with a small drift. They will have rows of tiny holes in them. Get yourself some torch tip cleaners (for oxy-actelyne torches) it has a selection of small stiff wires. Find one the size of the holes + poke thru them. THIS is where 99.99% of dirty carb problems actually lie. Also find the right size to poke thru all the other jets.
Heres a pic of apx what you have. (bike carbs are all pretty much the same inside.)
