Hard pulling carb slides - 1982 550 LTD - TK22

Hi everyone,
So I did the lemon juice cleaning method... However I got some problems now. Once I got things put back together, I noticed the slides move a lot harder now. I stupidly threw the slides in the lemon juice witht he carb bodies. I figure I can use some polish and smooth up the bore on the carb bodies, but the finish is a little roughed up on my slides themselves. Anyone have any ideas other than just polish the heck out of them or get different slides?

maybe try soaking them in carb cleaner! :woohoo:

Maybe before I put them in the lemon juice...but now I really can't go back...
