If you just need a rebuild kit or can afford new carbs, try
http://www.dellorto.co.uk/
Plenty of info and exploded diagrams which may help.

Even if you find second hand carbs, they may have the same problems/wear that your existing ones have...

Dell Orto UK supply all parts needed for rebuilding carburettors at reasonable prices (check out the costs of a new Amal carburettor!).

I'd recommend you look at replacing floats, float needles & float needle seats: these are all a different design from original and the float itself is utterly new.
Other parts are unlikely to be worn unless someone has been poking wires down the jets or the bike has been run without the proper air filter.

I had problems starting my '77 Sport until I replaced the floats. Now it starts first/second kick every time (I'm gob-smacked).
