I rebuilt the carbs on Sunday, and now the bike runs perfectly. I had no rebuild kit, and the only thing that could have gotten messed up was the float bowl gaskets. I soaked them with penetrating oil and removed them very carefully. The body of the offending carb got soaked for 1/2 hr in mineral spirits, as did all the other little parts. It really wasn't that hard. Now, after running for a few seconds, I can take off the choke and it works fine. All the power I could want. I rode it to work today, trusting the Accuweather forecast. It started raining on the way in and never stopped. I'm at home recovering and trying to warm up from my ride home!
Now for the little stuff like fork oil and pressure, final drive fluid, brake fluid flush and check sticky caliper, get rid of gap in headlight ring, new handlebars, grips and mirrors, fix seat, etc.
