V6 135 1988 carb rebuild question

[aussieflash]

Hi all,Currently servicing carbs(duel bowl).all stripped down and cleaned with carb cleaner,rinsed in water then rinsed in solvent then blown out with comp air gun as per manual instruction.My questions are.
1.Is Mineral terpentine ok to use as the solvent?
2.When adjusting float level(1.6mm) does float need to be level(parallel) as well or just at opposite end of tab adjuster?
3.Should i lube spring and throttle rod(shutter rod)if so is any motor oil ok?
Thanks for any help.

1. You need a more aggressive carburetor cleaner, made for the job.
2. Measured opposite the tab
3. No

hope it helps
