Study the parts blowup that comes with the rebuild kit very closely. Make sure you know exactly where each part goes before you start taking it apart. When you take it apart, put like things together. For example, if there's four screws that hold the top on, put those four screws together in one pile. Use a white towel or old white t-shirt to put the parts on and lay them out in an organized fashion so you can find things as you put the carb back together.

Use carb spray and spray all the little passages in the body. Clean the carb really good. And finally, make sure you adjust everything as precisely as you can; float level, float drop, choke rod settings if it has them. Don't lose any of the check balls, and mark down where each one goes.

If you have a friend who's done this before, keep him nearby.
