I'm also in the early stages of my restoration and can say that obtaining the literature on restoration, service and parts is the best way to begin. If you look to the left you'll see the "literature" link, click on it and purchase the Bill Silver books on your model. That and searching the appropriate threads on this forum are extremely helpful. Good luck.

Welcome to the forum.

Here is a link to parts suppliers:

As far as carb kits are concerned, you are generally better off to clean and re-use original parts than to substitute those from an aftermarket kit. (Unless damaged)

Bowl gasket and o-rings may be the only new parts needed.

Remove all jets and make sure all holes and passages are completely clean (jets and carb body), and do NOT overtighten the carb mounting bolts or the carb body can warp.

Like brewsky said , unless you have a ton of miles on them everything should clean up just fine.

there aren't any rubber o rings in the carb to worry about , the only seals you might need are for the float bowl and possibly the two for mounting the carb to the head.
