It is always better to remove the whole carb and clean and especially blow the carb out. This motor has the reed block and the carburetor cast together. Sometimes you can get the reed block off without ruining the gasket. I am not that lucky and it can be a challenge to find or make a new gasket for the reed. The float in your motor is held to it’s bracket by a screw. The cork float deteriorates with age and the screw hole gets whopped out. I bought a new style float and broke the bracket off. Screwed the new float to the old bracket. I have some pictures if you run into that problem. The old buggers run great once ya get them right!
