Hi Gary.
I too recently purchased a 07 America (prudence) with yes, Stupid low miles on it (1182). I got lucky with the seafoam. Didn't have to physical clean anything. I did have to dielectric grease all the electrical connections though. Especially the CDI. Prudence was purchased April 4th and now she has 12,045 miles on her. So I guess the seafoam did the trick eh? Oh yeah I had to mount a set of tires on her, adjust the chain, change the rear brake pads and such other stuff as cropped up. Guess it is time for a valve adjustment too.
All the other fellows got you on the right track to sorting your wife's new ride. You'll find step by step instructions on pulling the carbs on Pat's site. As you may want to clean the secondaries as well. Or not, if you can drop the bowls and clean up the float needles and seats once removed, with the carbys in place. On Prudence the motor has a freaking block under the left carb (865 motor). Makes for dropping the left bowl a pita. Pulling them for me is easier.
