just done the same with a set of 36 alfa webers bought from evil bay looked good from the outside but when pulled apart very ordinary inside. 
carby cleaner and wd40 pressure packs and small plastic tube, all clean now. I will carby clean all orifices again and then compressed air blow out,
new rebuild kit and check float level and should be ready to bolt on.
