Probably only needed the carb cleaned out and not even a rebuild. Hi probability that the others were unnecessary.

Throw money at it when it's proven that's what you need.

Complete, finished the job with a new choke cable, now bike is running better than before. Thanks to all for the extra suggestions. I do like the new bike one but just still in love with the one I have.
