Don't forget to check the cylinder head face is flat. Check the valve seats
for pitting/burning. If they're not too bad, lightly grind the valves in,
if it's really bad, consider getting the head converted to unleaded
(something to think about anyway)
Regarding the choke cable, if you're not messing about with the carbs,
other than taking them off the head, leave them on the manifold with the
cables connected. Other than that, get some small spanners! If you can't
find any to buy, get a cheapo one and modify it to fit. Heat it up and
hammer it to close up the gap, then file the jaws flat/square. It's not too
diffiicult to do, and the end result doesn't need to be terribly strong for
small nuts and bolts, plus when you've done it, you'll get a lot of
satisfaction using something you've made yourself!
