He's got it running...but I'm suggesting above and beyond...on 35 year old carbs, SAFETY becomes a factor. Integrity of orings/seals becomes critical at that age machine....no short cuts exist.
I'm doing a set of mid-2000 250 carbs right now, today. Owner reports leaking. I chose to wet test right out o' the box....running like a kitchen faucet from the fuel rail (between the 2 carbs). Sure enough, the orings are hardened and flat....add another 18 years to the age of these orings....would you ride on that?
I'm making a well advised suggestion to the owner (who is solely focused on getting it running) to consider ongoing SAFETY factors as well.

35 years is just getting broken in around my place
This sure sounds like fear mongering to me but whatever man. You charge for your services so I'll take that for what it is.
