Sad to hear this. I had Bear's restore the carbs for my 84 Aspy about 3 years ago. They came back pristine, and he even threw in a replacement plastic plenum cover as the original looked like there was a fire in the plenum.
Hopefully he turns things around.

Had the whole carb/intake rebuilt for my 84 Aspy. $409 (1 1/2 years ago). Great guy to work with...he does a lot of Goldwing work.
