I'm in the process of cleaning up the carbs and have several questions:

1) is worth taking the linkages apart to clean them up ? I gave them a little tug and they did not seem to want to come apart easily.
2) does anyone flatten the float bowls, lap the vacuum chamber to the throttle body, flatten the mounting flanges, etc. like you would on an AMAL Concentric ?
3) are you using in any grease or lube on the jet assembly, piston and dome, etc ?
4) is the float setting of 3/32" still good with non-oxy pump premium ?
5) what are you doing for air filters ?
6) are any of the SU manuals worth having ?

Thanks

Greg
