Hi, if I'm reading the model number correctly.
Remove air filter.

Under tank remove a single bolt from the tank support bracket, it's right on the lower edge of the crankcase.

Remove the screws that secure the tank to the carb and remove tank from engine. Flush out tank and leave to dry.

If you've got access to and air line you can leave the carb on the block.

On the side there is a small plate held on by 4 screws, remove these and the coil spring and diaphragm.

Remove all mixture screws and use an airline to clean-out the carb. Fit a replacement diaphragm.

Here's a link to the B&S site, some useful info on here.

You can search for your engine model and see a full parts illustration.
