The carb rebuild guides in basecliffs website are without a doubt the way to go.

As I have read so many posts of people having stuck jets would be a great choice to soak jets with penetrating oil as soon as exposed and not even try to take them out until they have soaked in penetrating oil for a week or two.

The rebuild says to soak/heat if you have problems but i think a lot of headaches may be saved if soaked no matter what.

If you don't already own one buy a Quality hammer driver for hardware on outside of carbs, and replace hardware with allen or hex type.(Make sure driver bits are high quality hardened steel)

Don't take any shortcuts, and take your time and you should not have problems, If you do we are here.

Make sure driver bits are high quality hardened steel

And the right size.

To be the correct size they need to be JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) bits.
But with a driver you can get close enough with standard Phillips bits to remove them.
