Of course it's possible to put on a new carb.. Although I think that it'd be just as easy to remove the carb you have, put it on a bench and clean it up and then reinstall it. The hardest part (in my opinion) is taking them off and putting them on. The rest is just tedious but not hard.

When I say new I mean a rebuilt one... I don't know of any place that sells brand new carbs for older engines...
