Default 87 GS550 E Carb question

I recently picked up an 87 GS 550 E that had the gas left in it last winter and I think it tarnished the carb. I have rebuilt many a carb in my day but not a motorcylce carb. Is there anything special with this bike? How hard is it to do? Or am I better off taking it in to somebody? Thanks.
