That actually looks worse than it probably is. Most of it will clean up, and is from leaks. All the gaskets are old, and with newer gas I'm sure is eaten up.

Get a quality rebuild kit, 2 cans of carb cleaner, and one of those carb 'bucket' cleaners:

You will find many other uses for that bucket by the way, so the $28 won't seem like such a kick in the teeth.

Get the list number off of it, and go to a place like this to grab a rebuild kit:

All those rubber lines are done, replace them. Take pics as a reference.

Once you have the carb off, and lines out of the way, clean the intake as best you can without disturbing it too much, and look along the edges where it meets the heads. See if pieces are missing, etc, and if you think you might have to do intake gaskets. Post pics here for more recommendations/opinions.

I've seen worse, that's actually not too bad. Like I said, it might look bad, but it's from all the leaks and dirt.

Even if you have issues with it after, it will be easier to replace the intake once/if you've done an R&R.
