Carb Rust?

Flaps in the carb???
Oh, must mean the butterflies.
Be careful if you decide to remove them for cleaning. Thy have to be installed exactly as they came out. The screws holding them in are staked at the factory to prevent them from coming loose. Will need to be re-staked after reassembly.
Do not epoxy paint them they will never fit the bores again. If anything they need to be corrosion proofed and plated.

I would probably just purchase a new carb base plate (plate at bottom of carb with throttle shafts and butterflies installed). Messing with the butterflies is asking for trouble. They have very tight toleraces to the bores. I would also take the excellent suggestions presented by others here for looking for the source of corrosion.
