I've done a few Stromburgs, just using kits & parts from Burlens. Just be methodical so's not to forget what goes where. They're pretty simple things all in all. One thing would be checking the spindle for play, can be rebushed though. Things like setting jets after rebuild can be found on the web or in the manual for a relevant the car.

Haynes do a manual specifically for SU's.

Hi
The SU is a doddle to rebuild, there are only about a dozen components, just take it slow and easy and work somewhere you can sit comfortably as you do the job. The stromburg is basically the same with a few extra bits, but you need to be carefull handling the diaphrams, they are quie delicate apart fron that it is just keep the working area clean and check for wear.
Best regards
Mike
