Looking at your re-adjusted carbs with the chokes open is about right. As Taysidedragon mentions, they are normally open 95% of the time so that is where you want the adjustment to count. As an aside, when I start my bike on full choke I have to open the choke a fair amount once the engine has started otherwise it races up to 3000RPM.
I only used carb cleaner and wd40 on mine. I was afraid to use anything stronger in case of damage.
That rim looks pretty good. Much, much better than what I found on mine when I took the tyres off. ☹

Here's a photo of a rim off my bought-brand-new Royal Enfield, taken when the bike was only a year old with only 2000 miles on the clock: (Attachment Link) Does my touch up and spot prime idea sound like a suitable one?
I don't see why not. 👍
By the time you have the bearings out, and the way you have to get them out does them no favours either, you may as well buy generic and replace them
