edelbrock carburetor flooding like crazy....

okay i am going to take the carburetor off today and clean it out and check the floats. it's my first time doing this so i am using the videos from online...anyone have any suggestions or things to watch out for? any trick of the trade are very much appreciated as i am a newbie at this process.

oh and someone asked how old the carburetor is....it's pretty new. i purchased this carburetor brand new from sumutt about a year ago.
