I've got a 1966 122 sedan I'm restoring, and have a mechanic who's itchy to get his hands on it. I just paid him a hefty bill to replace the head gasket and exhaust, but have heard I can probably clean the carbs myself. The car had funky old gas in it, and the car's not running well without the choke out. I'd rather save my money to have him pull of the hubs and work on the brakes, so can anyone give me fairly detailed instructions/tips about cleaning out my carburators? (but not rebuilding them--they were rebuilt 8 yrs ago, right before the car went to "sleep"). Thanks--hfav
