The work around the frame is almost complete, so we’re starting to see the finish line. The carburetor isn’t in great condition, so I think it’s better to just get the engine running first and then figure out what to do next.

High-performance carburetor corrosion is a critical issue
High-performance carburetors have very complex passages and mechanisms. Where it needs to seal, it must seal properly, and where it needs to move, it must move properly for it to function.
Even brand new ones can have issues if not reassembled correctly. Allowing it to corrode significantly increases the likelihood of problems.
If you’re not doing a complete disassembly, spraying carburetor cleaner can also cause issues, so be careful.

I think Keihin carburetors are really stable and good in many ways. By the way, I’m a vacuum carburetor fan (*´ω`*)
