GB carb removal

[GB500nz]

I have to take the carb off the GB, which appears to require a lot of disassembly to get clearance. Has anyone tried removing the forward engine bolts and hingeing the lump forward? That seems a lot easier.

I haven't tried that method.

Does your inlet manifold have the removable plate? (some models have a one-piece manifold, some have a two-piece one). I remove the plate and with the airbox and manifold clamps slackened off it (and throttle and choke cables removed) it gives me just enough room to get the carb out.

I say, try to keep it clean old man! There are youngsters about you know!
Now, what were you saying about carburettors before the smutty outburst??
