The rosy pink stuff was probably automatic transmission fluid. You'll get better throttle response using motor oil.

Not everyone has the same idea about what a carb rebuild consists of. Check that the throttle shafts fit tightly in the bores through the carb bodies. If so, there's probably no need to rebuild anything. If you can rattle them around because the holes have worn oval or the shafts are worn, that will need to be corrected or the carbs will never tune right.
