      First, welcome to the forum and glad you came back. As you may have noticed, we are here to help you. Before you make any changes, bobbing, cafe, whatever suits you, we will assist you in getting it squared away as a stock bike. Once you get it squared away, go to town, its your bike.
      AFA the carbs, we have a tutorial that allows you to do it for around $30 yourself. There is a bit more up front cost to purchase the proper equipment, but after that it will only cost you around $15 to clean them the next time. Probably a bit cheaper than the "professional" I suspect.
      Wiring is a bit of an arcane art at best. Using the diagram it is best that you get everything sorted out in a stock configuration. Once everything is sorted out, then you can make changes, but we cannot support those changes. There is no way we can, so hopefully you understand that part.
      If the wiring harness is in that bad of shape you might consider purchasing a used harness as a starting point. They are available here and on eBay. Building one from scratch, well, I could do it but I have decades of experience reading wiring diagrams and doing professional soldering. If it not your strong suit as you claim, well, I suggest you go looking for a used one.

      Keep coming back and asking questions before you start digging, get a good understanding first.
      Best of luck.

          82 production started around September or October of 81. What month is on the date?

            I think the biggest difference between the '81 and '82 wiring is the addition of the side stand warning switch.

            The ignitor might be different (built-in advance, rather than mechanical), but the wiring is pretty much the same.

                  Plenty of bikes, but no "projects".
                  If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.
