Malcolm,
I did mine last winter with great success. You'll be glad you did it --
mine has never run so well.
First I sent mine to Apple Hydraulics for rebushing and new shafts. (If you
do this, contact me offline and I'll fill you in on a problem you have to
watch for).
I know of no other tricks, but I think I soaked my cork gaskets in water
rather then oil. Worked fine.
The most important thing I can recommend: Find a large, clear exploded
diagram of the carb assemblies. I had several, and some definitely were
better and more useful than others. The one enclosed with the rebuild kit I
bought was generic and not too helpful. Good luck.

Subject: SU rebuilding tricks?
OK, I'm almost ready to start rebuilding my SUs. I couldn't find a book
locally (at library), and can't afford to buy the proper one, so I turn to
the 'net for help.
The only Sneaky Trick I've found so far is to soak the cork gaskets in oil
overnight so that they're pliable. (The cork gaskets got dunked tonight).
Is there anything else I should know? Or is it basically a tear-down,
re-assemble job?
TIA,
-Malcolm
