Carbs are a pain even when you know what you're doing...
Worth learning how to do a chain. Especially if you can get someone to
stupidvise your efforts at first.
There is (was?) a KZ email list. Don't remember if they consider yours
one of those or not. They were a very helpful group when I had a
700LTD.
Also, there ought to be 100's of 'how to work on a chain' videos or FAQs
on the net. Check google.

'Stupidvise'. What a splendid word.
Agree absolutely - it's much better to have someone say: "And this is
how you do it. Now you have a go..." and to stand by in case things go
wrong. And with old bikes, they often do, even if it's only something
like tackling a badly seized component that the manual says you should
simply "undo".
