Why change the carb?
If it needs a rebuild do that.
If you want it to start once a month just plumb an electric fuel pump into the fuel line close to the tank. Set it up with an on/off toggle switch. Turn it on for 30 seconds, close the choke, give it a couple pumps and fire it up. Shut off the electric pump until next month.
You don’t even need to rebuild it first. Try a pump first.

Here’s a carter that has a max pressure of 4 psi. Perfect for starting.
