Not perfect, but you can’t expect more given what the carb body has been subjected to. I got no way to clean up the seat in the body.

Look at the surface texture of the body. I think this baby has been in some of that old-school Gunk. Man, that stuff was good. Those days are LG (long gone).

After thorough cleaning and blow-out, I put it back together and installed it on the bike. The carb runs fine. Note that the mixture screw can control the idle mixture smoothly. I suspect that it was more like an on/off switch with the bogus screw since the tapered tip was so small that it couldn’t throttle flow.

ThumperLife, go ahead and order the new needle jet and slide needle. For these two parts, no aftermarket stuff, OEM parts are mandatory. Use the information I previously provided.

The aftermarket carb kit should be here in a week or two. Amazon already shipped it. If we are lucky, the TEV diaphragm will be a keeper. If not, no big deal. It seems to be working ok as-is.

Your training and talent are great.
