Hi ron,
your buddy Jacob sounds like one of the good guys but I don't recommend that you ask him to rebuild your carbs
because a professional carb strip & rebuild will cost way North of buying a good used carb set.
As others have posted, your carb set could well be FUBAR and you are stuck with buying a good used set anyway.
Note that the list has several posts from guys who have swapped their stock carbs for aftermarket units so there
could be some take-offs available. Try a want ad in the list's classifieds.
In the hope that your set is salvageable I'd ask buddy Jacob if he has an ultrasonic cleaning bath and if he'd
let you put your carb-set in it overnight for a small fee or a return favor.
