Carb Rebuild

[Gurrola_J <Gurrola_J@BLS.GOV>]

OK,  Thanks to all who put in thier 2 cents worth on my leaky fule inlet
on my carb.  Well, as I removed the top of the carb I noticed how much
corrosion there was in the float bowl.  Then I took off the accelerator
pump and there was a nice semi-circle of corrosion in there.  Well, I
realized, having bought the motor used, that it must have sat a long
time exposed to the elements.  I now must rebuild it since I'm sure that
if put it back together now without a good cleaning that stuff that got
loose would find its way into a jet or other orifice.  

I have never actually performed one of these by myself.  I understand
that I will need compressed air to blow out the passages and I need a
good carb cleaning solvent.  Can anyone offer any pitfalls or other
perils I should look out for?  I will be attempting this on Saturday.
Wish me luck.  

How did I ever get into this?!!
