Not at all.  Just thorough.

There's a bunch of people on here who have never had to tinker with a carburetor other than on a lawn mower or weed wacker.  To many people (my son, included), working on a carburetor is akin to lighting incense and tossing dried chicken bones onto a tanned alligator skin to unlock their celestial meaning.  There must be some sort of VooDoo involved with making a carburetor work right.

They're sure of that shortly after their first "rebuild".  

They're totally convinced after the third (and possibly successful) "rebuild" when they didn't do anything different from the first two, but now the "Carburetor Druids" are appeased and, Behold!    The damn thing runs.

Grab that file and store it on your hard drive.  Better yet, because you'll probably lose it in the unstructured clutter of your computer, incorporate it into a custom digital  Service Manual for your car so that in a year or two or four when you have troubles and you've forgotten most of that stuff, it will still be there waiting to help you out.

Doctor Dan to the rescue!
