Basically, the only thing I really know regarding wrenching on this thing is that "nicht überfüllen" probably means "do not overfill".
Actually, rebuilding any carburetor is not difficult if you pay attention when you take it apart. Just disassemble till there is nothing else to take apart while laying all the parts out in order that they came off. Open the carburetor kit box/bag and replace all the old parts that you have new parts for. Clean up all parts. Put it back together in the reverse order that it came apart.

Plan B. Take it into a motorcycle shop and ask them to rebuild it -
