Note: This is for a manual choke carb and is not a full strip down, just enough to get to the important bits and to give them a clean. Every bit you see or remove give it a good squirt with CarbMedic and clean it, it will be basically the same for a carb with an automatic choke.

First disconnect choke, accelerator, fuel line and fuel solenoid wire - 

Undo the four bolts holding carb to manifold (could be from the top depending on model)- 

Take a note of how the gaskets and channeled spacer plate sit, leave them on the manifold- 

Remove carb (practice throwing at neighbor's dog)- 

Undo bolt holding acceleration pump arm and slide arm out of the pumps plunger (left hand side in photo) - 

Remove fuel solenoid - 

Undo 2 screws holding the hot idle gubbins, disconnect the vacuum pipes and remove - 

Bottom HIC vacuum pipe sits on the very bottom of the carb- 

Remove fuel inlet banjo - 

To remove the (manual) choke stuff do this - 

Note this - 

And off it comes - 

Remove this pin from accelerator gubbins to choke gubbins to release the arm - 

And undo the 5 screws - 

Top part (air horn) now comes off - 

Remove spring from accelerator pump - 

 A quick map - 

 Remove primary and secondary speed jets and check gaskets - 

Undo the two bolts to gain access to the main jets - 

Remove main jets (primary and secondary)-

Give everything a good clean. Check for damaged gaskets and rubbers on the acceleration pump.

Re build and go VROOM VROOM!!!

I had a lump of something keeping the secondary speed butterfly partially open which was causing me big problems (similar to yours) but now it runs sweet!
