Thanks for the advice Bob!  Is re-bushing the shafts something  that
requires precision equipment?  The bushings are not part of the  rebuild
kit, are they?  On  a 5 point scale, where does it stand  in terms of
difficulty where 5 can be pretty difficult for the average  owner?
 
No, the bushings aren't part of a rebuild kit. Since you're in P.R., I'd  
remove the base plate from the carbs, and talk to a good local machinist 
about  replacing them. It'll be cheaper in the long run, versus shipping them to 
and  from the states.
 
As for the rest of the kit, it's probably a 2 (maybe a 1.5) on a 1  to 5 
scale of difficulty. The biggest thing is to have a can of carb cleaner  (1 
gallon can with a basket), and some compressed air for cleaning out the  
passages and jets. Like I said, most kits come with instructions, and it's  
basically a tear it down, soak a while, blow it out, and re-assemble type of  
thing. Just remember to try and re-use your old needle and seat assembly, as  
the new ones in the kits have been causing problems with flooding and not  
shutting off the fuel flow. :O
