Silver series 10330

Gentlemen,and ladies...it's been a minute.I have a RWD 10330 that I have had since 2015.Given to me me from the original owner.
She,up until I got it,had never changed the oil(jsmh).Well I babied it and it responded well.Now I'm having problems starting it.I know it needs a good carb cleaning now.
My thing is,i'm intimidated.I think I saw a video saying the linkage was very fragile.Does anyone know of a video I can watch cleaning this model carb or close to it?

Not sure what model carb you have but I have cleaned many carbs, take a pic of the linkage the way it's connected , that's all you need worry about regarding linkage. pull the bowl and spray through ever port you can see , I use regular penetrating oil with a straw insert to pin point my spraying.
you can pull the bowl / float by removing the pin that it pivots on , then the needle valve will come off with the float, now blow penetrant through the seating area and everywhere else and reassemble in reverse.

The engine on that unit is probably a Tecumseh model LEV100, which has about the easiest to clean and rebuild. Doing a google search “cleaning and rebuilding a Tecumseh carb.” And you’ll find plenty of videos to help you. I suggest that you take plenty of pictures as you disassemble the linkage and carb, to make reasonably easier. Tecumseh linkages are NOT fragile and should cause you no problem. These two manuals should help you out.
