Well I guess I put this off for a bit. I have been riding the beast anyway. It seems to be doing decent. Fuel additives have helped a bit. I'm not too excited or confident in cleaning the carbs. It seems to die at stops sometimes now. In fact, it even does this after I've been riding for 30 mins or so. I don't go on rides any longer on it. I really don't know what the issue is. Improperly adjusted valves? Improperly set idle? Improperly designed piece of shit? Or all of the above? My fear with the carb work is that once I remove the carbs, I'm afraid the intake manifold will crack from old age. Or if I remove the intake, I won't be able to get the seals for it. And carb kits are damn hard to come by. I have a somewhat custom supertrapp exhaust on it right now. I removed a few plates and that seemed to help it run a little better. Not sure how to get the correct back pressure on it
