is it always best to do one carb, replace it, then move on to another?
i'm guessing they'll need a rebalence after this yes?

They come off as a set of 4...you'll see when you get started.
Don't take them off the bracket that connects them up. just take the float chamber cover off - the bit onf the bottom with 3 screws (made of soft cheese) and clean it all -check your jet sizes too as you can see them in there.
get a load of cleaner in the slides and make sure they move freely -
balancing carbs is easy but for now just get it working and if you think they need a balance afterwards then you know how to take them off etc.

carb/brake cleaner is just a solvent in a can. any of them will do. Don't use WD40 or the like though..
