Not a difficult job if you have a manual to show you the proper way.

Casper, you will want to install new gaskets and a new fuel inlet (needle valve) and it's seat. Also check the condition of the carb float. The foam -type disolve and the hard plastic ones crack. Replace them if necessary.

The trickiest part is to adjust the idle mixture. It takes a bit of trial and eror.
