RR, DC, is referring to the ignition coils. It is quite easy for a weak coil(s) to be diagnosed as a carburation problem as the symptoms can be quite similar.

Generally a carb rebuild is easy, it's the removal/installation of all that stuff around them that's a PIA. Since there was rust found in the tank I'd have to suspect some in the carb's bowls also, in the least. You DO have a fuel filter, I hope. The rust in the tank also suggests, to me anyhow, that the bike has sat for some time without a full tank of gas. I think Eastwood made a product to coat the interior of the tank, if not there are likely others.

All this leads me (if the bike were mine) to rebuild the carbs, see how she runs and then look at the coils.
