Yes. You'll need a bright light, lots of carb cleaner, and beer. (I
suggest Bass. It's thematically and gustatorily correct.)
You should also take care to clean, but not dismantle, the temperature
compensators, unless you know what you're doing. You'll also need a
mixture adjustment tool, if you don't already have one.
For more general info, see the maintenance section of www.vtr.org.
