83 evinrude 115hp carb cleaning help

I want to clean the carbs on my 115hp 1983 evinrude. I noticed they sell carb gasket kits for around $10-15. Anything else while the carbs are off? Do they sell kits with more parts that might need replacing since I am taking the carbs off anyways?

Thanks

fsds,

While you are at it.

1. Get new cab base gaskets (carb to intake).

2. Get new carb to air box gaskets.

3. Rebuild the fuel pump.

3. Replace the fuel hoses.

By the way, if you haven't put in a new water pump in a while, now is the time to do it. The shift linkage is super easy to get to when the carbs are off.
