While I hate the air box design, I got a sitting for 5 years bike up and running. All it took was a carb cleaning. I did use screw clamps to replace those springs.
The whole air box thing is a real PITA if you want to remove your carbs. It does seem that once they are clean you don't need to remove them often. Mine pulls all the way to rev-limiter with no flat spots.
Please keep us informed about you progress. Like I said I hate the air box.
