Don't know if that question was for me, but It wasn't very difficult at all to rebuild. The rebuild kit was around ~$45 at O'Reilly's and had full instructions on tear down and rebuild.

As far as being a novice, don't worry about that. I had never rebuilt a carb before either, and I felt this was pretty easy. I did have my iPhone right there during tear down so I took lots of pictures to reference when putting back together if needed. For the fuel mixture screws: before removing them, actually count the number of turns to tighten them until snug, then remove then. When you reinstall them, tighten till snug, then back them off the same number of turns.
