I posted this over on TT, I'm sure a few of you already saw it.
I ordered a new carb Keihin PWK 39mm hopefully the bike will wake up to what its supposed to be.

Dang! How does something like that happen? The 12 year old slide in my PJ is friggen pristine. I don't understand.
No longer have a CR500.

Yes there was dirt inside the airboot between the carb and the filter, it didn't look like any got past the carb.
The crank/rod bearings are fine, I did a topend & a fresh hone on the cylinder a few weeks ago (everything measures within spec) it added more compression but overall it didn't change how the big ran. Im running a 170/55 jet combo on the stock carb.
I did notice that the slide in my carb is cracked and has a little piece missing and is scuffed up. It does have a little play/wobble inside the carb too, not sure if this is normal.
I believe I posted this pic before but I accidently removed it from my site.

Be careful with this slide mate as I have seen them before get stuck throttles because of the hard facing coming off and wedging the slide a little.
Its not pretty.

I think I ruled out everything except for a possible crankcase leak and or I need to get a new carb.
