As to accessing the floatbowl, how often do you need to access it?

In a British car, as often as you turn the key.
They are considerably simpler than Zenith Strombergs, having only 4 moving parts that I can think of ( float, throttle plate, choke and piston). IIRC, the Zenith Stromberg was developed because back in the early 60's Triumph needed such a carb and SU was owned by MG. So the Stromberg was copied from the SU using the same basic principle but being just different enough to escape British patent infringement issues.
I didn't mean to suggest an SU could be substituted in this case, it was just a comment for general discussion. Basically, I agree, the Stombergs are decent carbs and if the OP has one that can be refreshed, he should do so.
