Like he said, if you have the manual, and some quiet time, it's not
bad. Finding some how-to articles might help, but then they leave out
some steps!
Instead of a bucket of carb cleaner, which is nasty, I suggest using a
spray can or two. That's what I've been doing for the past 5 or 10
years. The kind in the spray can evaporates, so it pollutes the
atmosphere a bit, but it dissipates quickly, instead of hanging around
as a gallon of toxic waste.
Oh, yeah...the thing about how it goes quicker the second time...that's
usually right after you put the rebuilt carb back on the engine and try
to get it to run :) at least that's what happened to me when I did
my first Carter 2bbl at age 13.
Hint--be careful setting the float level, and getting the metering rods
back in! and be sure to read how to take it apart BEFORE you destroy
stuff.
