All of this is good advice (including the don't pull your carbs apart part). I've spent enough hours cleaning and rebuilding carbs to tell you, it ain't a lot of fun :-)
If it's just running a litle rough, try the old "Italian tune-up" - get to a straight, safe area (like an uncrowded freeway), and whack the throttle full open at 10 or 11K for a little while. Clears up stuck dirt and minor problems like a jiffy
Hope everything goes well.
Keep the rubber down,
