Okay makes sense. The top part of the carb is pretty stuck on so I wanted to see if I could remove anything else to make it even a little bit easier when gently tapping it with a rubber mallet to hopefully loosen it. Thanks guys
How many long screws did you remove? Should be 10! So many morons-when they say TQ's suck because they have a cracked or warped bowl. 99% of them didn't get the 2 screws in the choke horn and break them by beating on them. Glad you are asking!
