Mark,
I agree, they are pretty simple. I think that the big thing is making sure all the passages are free and clear. I did pop the brass plug off the side of the cast iron base, near the idle screw, and found a bunch of junk there. Some of the other passages associated with the idle circuit were also plugged. I was very careful to make sure all was clear. High pressure air and a small nozzle are your friends.
There is also a check valve in the accelerator pump cover that will need attention The CarbKing kit had a new ball for this.
It is also easy to assemble the accelerator pump in a way that the metering rod does not fit into the metering rod jet -something to check-
I have plenty of pictures I could email you that may be helpful. We will talk soon.
