Carb Rebuild Question
so in october my truck started to run pretty bad since it sat in 2010 because i didnt have a license... so in october i decided to take bed off and take it apart since i had about six holes in my floor and only 2 crossmembers were good.. so i swapped to a different used floor that was all solid... so since it sat all the time it started to get worse and worse.. thought it was timing so i redid that.. and its still running rough... had some sputters, farts, stalling, little back fire here and there so i was like shoot might as well rebuild the carb.. so since i work at autozone i went down and bought a rebuild kit for my holley... came out to $13 figuring i might as well do it since theres no harm in $13 right? question is.. how complex are they. ive never rebuilt one before so im thinkin if i take my time i will be just fine.... anyone got any pointers?

Re: Carb Rebuild Question
Take pictures, make drawings/notes, whatever to remember how it goes back together. Take it apart on a cookiesheet, I use one of those big drip pans on my bench so as to not lose any small parts. Pay the bucks for a can of carb cleaner. Take your time.
