CB500/4 carburetors

Hi lads,
Just signed up as I have a friend's bike in to get running, the bike has registered 2000 miles from New but has been stored away with fuel in the carbs, looks like they had tar poured in the bowls and are not in serviceable condition.
I am looking for a decent clean set if possible. Let me know what you have.

Also meant to add I'm in the UK (Scotland)

John - post some pics of the existing carb float area - are you certain you can't save them? Not teaching you to suck eggs, but you'll be amazed what can be done even with the most gummed up carbs. The only issue will be if there's corrosion in there as well.
Bryanj:
There is a man on ebay who regularly sells refurbished set but they are about £200
Chris400F:
Here is a clean and rebuild service which also comes in at £200 including parts and return postage:
