After the blaster go to a pair of vice grips and grab the head.
they use lock tite every where. you can use heat, but here you'd need to be real careful.
there are rubber bits not that far away and I wouldn't recommend it.

I think you may be right with the locktite, I may need to apply some heat too, but I don't have a heat gun and I don't want to apply a flame (the only rubber parts are inside, right?)

duh... I thought you meant to hold the carb, but I see now, use the vice grips to loosen them, I went to get one and that worked great, THANKS!!!

I am cleaning all parts, getting new nuts and putting it all together again, THANKS!!!

@Savage_Greg

This is incredible! Thanks for all the specs as well as the explanations.

This may be a stupid question but here goes: where can I get the 1/2 size spacers for the jet needle? I only see the stock spacer on Suzuki parts lists.

Again, thank you to all the folks who share their wisdom on this forum. What may seem obvious to you is still a scary unknown to me: these discussions, explanations, pictures, links, etc. are invaluable.

I've got some #4 washers. Now I have to remove the gas tank: I've disconnected the fuel line and the vacuum line, and the speedometer cable. I can pull it towards the rear, but not enough. Any suggestions? Thank you! Sad

If you have access to the top of the carb and you only want to change the white spacer, you don't need to remove the carb. Just take the top off.

But, to answer your question... the bowl is hitting the bat box? The bat box can be pulled back a little and that may be enough.

Take a ratchet strap and hook one on the upper shock stud around the bat box and to the axle, or some other place convenient. Tighten it up a little till you got room for the carb to come back a little. Of course I'm assuming you've removed the rubber duckie.

If I got the right screws, then it's 0.7mm
