A screwdriver, a few wrenches and a can of carb cleaner will solve most problems. Carburetors on small engines are usually pretty simple. Just be careful to pay attention how things go back together when disassembling. Also be careful not to tear the diaphragms that are usually in the two stroke engines and newer four strokes. Clean out all passages, especially jets. Reassemble, adjust mixture if needed, should run as good as new. Less than an hour in most cases. YMMV....
