That video was with no serious attempt to clean the carbs. I had it started with carb cleaner sprayed into the airbox. I brought it to a pro and had the carbs cleaned. The mechanic said 3 of the slides were frozen and as far a funk in the carbs, he repeatedly used the adjectives "horrific" and "shit show", all said in good fun. He said they were in the top (bottom?) 1% in terms of funkiest carbs he's rebuilt. The bike is running great now.
