taking the carb apart and putting it back together is actually really simple. Way more simple than my Carter AFB.

One thing to keep in mind, when removing the spring from the accelerator pump, make sure the small washer and clip dont go flying off, i lost the clip because of this. I'm still trying to figure out the lead plug issue too and found this link.

Mike's carburetor sells a kit that has all of the necessary check valve replacements etc. but at $40 a kit was too steep for me. I got mine for $16 off of rockauto.com, but they didnt have as many parts as Mike's.

I cleaned mine out in pinesol using an ultrasonic cleaner. It worked really well.
