Assuming all existing parts are in good shape, what needs to be replaced? One video I watched stated the large O ring type gasket between the float chamber and carb body, as well as the float valve seat need to be replaced anytime an overhaul is done. Is this usually true?
Actually that is the gasket that usually survives because it is made out of neoprene ! Do not clean that gasket in any thing except warm water and soap. Many carburetor cleaners will cause it to swell and then you can not re-assemble. If you find that it HAS swollen. wash in warm water and dish soap and let thoroughly dry.
If you are going to replace the main jet (31) (up inside the tube that holds the emulsion tube - 12) you need a special screwdriver. Briggs makes them or buy a "gunsmith" hollow ground screwdriver. Not expensive. (Typical straight blade screwdrivers "flare" outwards and can not reach inside the tube where the main jet lives.)
There are a couple of "hidden" passages that you might want to TRY and get to. #5 is idle/pilot air bleed adjustment. It is covered by a cap. By careful if you try to remove the cap as the screw may BREAK https://youtu.be/kMw91fiIXNc?t=242 ! Also #32 is the idle/pilot jet. It is plastic and goes straight down into the carburetor and held there by the throttle stop screw (11).
