The carb is real simple to overhaul.  You just need an air compressor to blow air through all the carburetor orifices/holes.  

The only tricky part is paying attention to how the throttle linkage is connected to which holes.  Take pictures or mark the linkage hole locations.

You don't need a lot of tools to rebuild the carob.  A basic socket set, screwdriver, and plyers are all the tools you need.

Take a look at the service manual and check You Tube as there are lots of videos on how to clean or rebuild Tecumseh carburetors.
