Carb removal

[bigfootpete]

To answer the original question, once the inlet clamps and the airbox clamps are loose, simply push/pull the carbs up and down while pulling backwards.

There's a ridge on the carb stubs which engages with a channel in the rubbers and a straight backwards pull isn't enough to break the carbs free.

Thanks Mike, I got it now, after some trial and error and help from Richard.
