Hello Everyone!

So, got to work on the bike, and the steal has been downgraded to a deal. Hopefully not a banana peel. Have any of you ever seen carbs this bad, and how does this happen? And what is the reality I am looking at here? What's a fix or home remedy for severely oxidized float bowls?

It's like someone poured baking soda in their enemy's tank.

Bike sat for 4 years in Brooklyn weather neglected.
