Default SU Carb rebuilding

Probably (hopefully) been covered but I am stripping and cleaning up a set of SU carbs for my 85 engine. It has been a long time since I have worked on SU’s and am not familiar with this setup involving the electro mechanical Starter enrichment (?) and on the central carb what appears to be a standard type choke attachment.

The Bristol manual seems a bit vague and I am looking for information or advice from someone who has done this before. I know I could just send them off to be rebuilt but although very grubby they have no wear on the spindles so the plan is to strip, clean and re assemble.

I grew up in Erdington which is where SU were so was able to amble over to the service area and get all the parts and advice available so also appreciate hearing of experience in obtaining gasket sets etc.
