He's found his chosen solution. No doubt pilot circuits that needed further "attention".
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.
