Follow the FAQ. There are no major problems you can cause (short of throwing sand down the intake). Be sure to clean or replace (very inexpensive) your flame trap, since having the trottle body off it will give you good access to it (otherwise you have to be an contortionist with small hands and long thin fingers). Be careful pulling it off, that you do not put force on the small hose fitting (its plastic) and break it (you'll be OK, just don't try to pull it off by this fitting). I'm sure you'll find it clogged with hardened oil deposits in the flame trap. Also check the small hose fittings on it to make sure it is clear.

Go for it! Its not difficult.
