1st in ; 1st out is the best way to go about service work...or it becomes difficult to meet already promised deadlines.
There isn't anything like a quick fix, the tech still needs to understand what is being asked
of him/her and the customer's expectations.
I haven't used Cobalt from PA.
But I have used low-end Cobalt from KBC (inexpensive) to drill/wire race bikes, and they worked well.
Stainless is tough on cutting tools, I can understand.
The issue with parts like this is quality, the gasket will not be chemically resistant and will get eaten away.
They sometimes will use non-standard dimensions for the bowl gasket etcs, so using genuine parts will not be possible.
Who knows how good the diaphragms, needles, needle seats etc are...

Also try tapping on the carb with a soft mallet (gentle blows)
Parts for those carbs will be harder to find. Hopefully they haven't been taken apart much,
older carb's are generally a nightmare to work on (as they are usually messed with a lot)
All you really need to rebuild those SV forks is a hammer, allen wrench, hex wrench, screw driver , 2x picks, grease, and fork oil.
(brake clean & rags, polishing sand paper)
