Take a look at the brand of carburetors. If they are Mikuni, you are probably ok for spares or parts. If they are Teikei, then they are probably rotten and porous. Replacements are difficult to find in usable condition. New jets can be bought, but are very limited in size.

If the carbs are indeed Mikuni, then I vote to buy.
Here is a pic I found on the net that's labeled as a YCS1 and it is a Mikuni. I've seen rebuild kits for them online.

I am currently working on a '73 RD200 which evolved from the 180 YCS1.
