Update:
After a good cleaning, the pitting was so bad the bowls developed smallest of holes.
So new bowls it is...

Hopefully someone has some answers...

The person I bought it from is a neighbor and potential riding buddy once I get his K75 in order. Said the bike was ridden to his house by previous owner, then ridden by him a short distance before being put under a raggedy tarp and left.
I will believe him, for now. Gotta have a lil faith in the world.
I think I prefer the flood theory. Otherwise, your carb pics will probably start showing up in the "ethanol-is-the-font-of-all-evil" conspiracy theorists' hall-o'-shame.
I haven't seen red hypoid myself---even "Redline" synthetic 75W-90 is reported to be yellow.

the red line I use is red I haven't seen the yellow
