doesn't smell like gas, and I think it looks ok. wife rode with me today for the 1st time after I did the carb work, she thought it smelled. I think the exhaust smells fine.

Smell? Not sure how you kept the center insulator so white but mine have 10K and bike runs fine (an stock) Rust came from a late snow and ice storm I got in and everything got covered with salt spray. Note the slight difference between front and leaner hotter back cylinder.
