I'm not familiar with your carbs, but their all about the same.

Your gona need to be very organized, pictures if its your first time are great. That link was quite good, but dont dip your carbs in any carb cleaner unless you have them broke apart and ALL the rubber parts are out.

It is something that everyone has had a first time doing. If your organized and take your time, you wont have any problems. A clean work area is needed.

I dip mine in pinesol for 24hours or more before doing anything. It really loosens up built up sludge and wont harm your rubber parts. Make sure you rinse it very well after though if the carbs are going to sit for a long time before use.
