not sure what old corroded and stale gasoline will look like.

Is your air box clean? if your air box has green stuff in it, id be worried. Other wise just clean those carbs really well.

That happens.

I wouldn't worry about it at this point. Clean the carbs (properly) and see how it runs.

you mean the vacuum line coming off the #1 carb? It connects to the petcock on the F2.

Do you have a jet kit installed? You can't do much tweaking otherwise. You could shim your needles up a tiny bit and turn out your idle screws. However I doubt you will need to do any tweaking for just a pipe. Ride it first and find out.

There are 2 holes on your petcock. one fat one (fuel) and one smaller one (vacuum). The 2 lines that come from the bottom of the gas tank aren't a big deal. They just lead to the ground.
