Z,... If you have little experience with mechanical things, taking apart a carb is a little intimidating, and there are lots of things to do wrong.
If you have twisted a wrench now and again (changed your own oil, replaced some drive belts, sharpened your lawn-mower blade, installed a ready-made trailer hitch, etc.) then it isn't all that hard to do if you have a forum like this available with several discussions on how to carefully do the various tasks correctly, and how to avoid common pitfalls.
Taking a carb apart doesn't take a lot of strength, either, assuming the phillips head screws holding the float bowl, diaphragm cover, etc., on come loose fairly easily. Even if they are stubborn, there are techniques you can use that still don't need a lot of hand/arm strength.
The Savage carb is pretty simple. To disassemble it, clean it out, replace the normally replaceable parts (gaskets, float valve, etc.) and reassemble it, would take a skilled person who is familiar with this carb an hour or so. If are you are mechanically competent, and you have never looked at this carb,... maybe two hours. If you don't know much about carbs at all, maybe a whole evening.
