So I'm reasonably competant technically - I can change a clutch without breaking a sweat (so long as the garage isn't too hot), and I'll tackle most things that dont require welding or a lathe.
I have one blind spot though - carbs. They might as well be voodoo as far as I'm concerned. In a rash fit of bravado (or stupidity) I just bought a whole raft of 175CDs on Ebay. I had the bright idea that I'd rebuild one so I had a set of three, and either rebuild the others or just sell on as is.
Now reality is sinking in. I bought the Haynes carb manual so I'll have that when it ships, and Moss seems to have a lot of parts for them.
My question is thus, and based purely on my ignorance - how hard are these things to rebuild really? Is it a case of rtfm and swap the broken bits, or is it best left to the experts?
