I am working a 1920 Samson Model M with a Kingston L carburetor. I know A-C U Continental's and some other tractors have them, but i have never repaired one.

My issue is that i got it running at a fast idle, and am unable to throttle up to higher RPM's. Turning the needle valve screw at the top doesn't do anything other than make it want to stall. I think i need to take it apart and make sure everything is clean. Is this a difficult job or relatively easy to take apart and rebuild?

Any advise or tips are greatly appreciated.
