Have a look at the carbs before ordering the kit. When I did the carbs on my GL500 I didn't use any new parts. Has been running fine for several years. It did however require a good cleaning.
The jets in many of the rebuild kits are not as good as the original bits and some, such as the float needle valve are much worse.
