Just adopted an orphan 74', multiple foster homes, no records, last one didn't winterize it properly. While I wait for certain tools to come in I figured I'd pull the carbs and clean them. Prior to pulling the throttle was very stiff to open/close, since these models have to dual throttle cables does that mean they don't flick close, and need to be manually closed also? With the carbs off and released from the throttle cables, it's almost impossible to get them to open, I'm assuming these are gonna need to be more than just cleaned? How can you tell the severity of the carbs conditions and the best solution?
Full disclosure: This is my first vintage bike I've had other bikes prior and but they were EFI, and I did regular maintenance such as fluid changes and minor body work. I've also picked up the service manual just waiting to print it out on Monday
