I can visualize the outside of that carb in my mind, but haven't been inside of it. Its a pretty old basic design up draft carb. Be careful with the jets, I assume have new ones in the kit, perhaps not. Don't strip them putting them in, certainly don't crank them into the seats. You're going to have to adjust them out after "lightly touching" the seats. Idles screws, things like that. Not a bad idea to carefully count the number of turns and partial turns inward until "lightly" bottom out, so have some neighborhood referrence point where they should be backed off to when put back together. I don't know about metering rods in that old carb, but whatever they're using, be careful that are inserted properly. Take notes of what you're taking apart and how, so when you do finish putting back together, it went back together how and in reverse order of how came apart.
Take your time, be careful, don't bang or ding stuff around. That thing is the engine's heart. If it doesn't beat or pump properly...
