Walt pretty much covered it! I can add a couple things I noticed when I worked on my carb for the 10-20 which is pretty much the same carb. Inside the float bowl there is a line machined all the way around. use that line to set the float level. I used the setting given in a carb kit and it flooded bad. I reset it to the line and it worked perfect! Also there are only a couple gaskets on the whole carb so don't bother cutting some or trying to find gaskets that don't exist( I learned the hard way) There is one thin paper gasket on the little housing where the fuel screen is( also the needle valve is under the housing)Just cut it out of a brown paper grocery sack, And the one thick gasket Walt mentioned where the carb mounts to the manifold. Be sure to check your throttle valve shaft and make sure it is not all wore out like most are. The choke shaft is almost always wore out and I was able to braze it up carefully and file it back round. I also found out there was a dust shield that sits on top of the shaft. It was originally a fiber washer I got one that was close to the right size and cut it to fit. No more slop in the choke shaft! I cleaned my brass parts in prep solve used for a pre painting treatment for steel and it made the carb look like a brand new one and didn't hurt the printing on the tag like bead blasting will and after I washed off the acid and dried it off I took a very fine wire brush(hand type) and buffed it with that. The carb looked like it was made yesterday when I got done with it!
