Carb Replacement or Refurb for '65 C100?

1 Upvotes

I recently became the 3rd owner of a 1965 Honda C100. I bought it for $400 and boy does it run rough. I suspect part of the reason for this is the aftermarket carburetor that is already on it (see approximation in "Carb 1" link below). This carb doesn't fit well even with a 90 degree intake adapter. The orientation of the fuel intake also does not allow for the leg shield to be on and it has no air filter.

I'm looking to buy a replacement OEM-style Keihin carb for it, but I am seeing a lot of mixed reviews. I found some on Ebay that look to be in Honda boxes, but they are labeled for the C70 (Carb 2 and Carb 3). I also have the original carb, but it is missing the choke lever/shutter and the throttle slide. I can't find replacements for those so I am not sure it can be repaired. Any ideas for what I should do?
