Hey man i just bought a 1982 650 seca that sat for 16 years also!! all i did was clean the carbs by soaking them in gas and choke cleaner. They had gas in them the whole time so they were bad but it runs like a dream now!! As for the carbs you are ####ed my friend as i found out today!! the carbs are hitachi and were discontinued in 82' so you will have to search online for them!!!
