It all depends on how long it has been since the last cleaning. When I do my boat motor carb every year (2stroke). I can usually get away with soaking it in a bucket of gas overnight then using carb cleaner and a wire brush in conjunction with the air compressor to get the job done. If your truly rebuilding it try this first then take pictures. The More pics of each step the better. Then just replace the parts and reverse it.

To keep from gumming up the carb try shutting off the gas and let the engine die out instead of storing it with gas in the carb.
