I know I have read about this before, but can not seem to find it using the search funtion.

Any good references. This is my first rebuild, and would like to make sure I do it right. My manual stinks, it shows the break down of the carb but no step by step procedure. Also,, is carb leaner from a spray can, and good gas what I clean it with or is there a preffered solvent?
