I didn't find it hard to rebuild one, and it was my first.  it even ran, but to get it properly set, that's a bit of a different story.  You'll need to read and understand the measurements and get everything right, and you'll need a timing light (?), a vacuum gauge, and a tach - Oh yeah!  and patience.

Nice going both of you!  Have an egg there Shane.

           HI Shane rebuilding a cater carb to me its not hard to do ...First you need a good book I always had
               Motors manuel they always had the best break down on the carter carb it was complete
               2. you need a good rebuild kit with all the O rings plugs gasgets they also have a instruction sheet
               3.I clean off work bench or table lay down paper to keep it clean and start taking the carb apart
               4.I start at my left all the external things and base plate and the top plate  etc.etc.
                5 I have 2 cleaning pales to clean parts in and I clean parts by gropes .after clean let dry and clean
                out all holes with air remove all plugs if your kit comes with them if not don't ...clean.clean.I try to keep
                clean paper down all the time .
                6. when you start to put it back together get a new set of main jets ...if you want to have better gas
                 mileage put in new jets ..I always do ...they are marked on top of jet .....
                7. Start rebuild .if you forgot how to  you have book and instruction sheet....and you run into trouble
                there is the nest we wont let you down.....
                after its all back together make your adjustments ...idle is 1 1/2 turns out to start with so no and so on

                put it on the car and it works   then you say how did that happen it works


               I like to do this ..every time I do this i learn more all the time .....Don

A book really? Haha

Most carbs just need a good cleaning by taking them apart. While your in there just replace gaskets. Technically I don't consider it rebuilding
