I'll go with the original paint on this bike, might and up with some rough bodywork until I sort out a decal/sticker source. Found some time to dive into the carbs, was a nice surprise to see them mostly clean.
Carb 4 had the remains of 20+ year old fuel in it Remains of old fuel on #1 and #4 needles
I am not very experienced with carbs but those seem in exceptional condition given their age! 👍
Only issue with them is one air/fuel mixture screw is frozen in place, hopefully it comes out without breaking. I've put a couple of the carbs through the ultrasonic cleaner, the other two are in the process. They were already clean, but look amazing after being thoroughly cleaned. For anybody cleaning carbs, here's justification for using an ultrasonic cleaner every time.

Finally found some time to do a bit of work on this bike. Engine is back in after doing the valves and some deep cleaning on the frame. Rear suspension is done, front is next.
