Go slow, do one carb at a time, do NOT take them off the rack. Don't remove the top vacuum chamber covers if you don't have to, the rubber diaphragms underneath may not go back into place and can be tested by pushing the slide up and listening for a healthy foomp sound and watching if it returns to position easily. Instead, turn the carbs upsidedown and remove float bowls one at a time. Test for leaky floats and a good seating float valve. Also you will see the main jet sticking up and the slow jet next to it recessed down inside its holder. Both can be removed and cleaned with carb cleaner and compressed air. Once they're cleaned you should be able to hold them up to a light and check if they're clear. Put everything back together and then move on to the next carb. Do them one a time and everything should work out fine.
