With the fuel bowl removed take note of the upside down number in the center of the metering plate. This is important for matching the replacement jets The next step is to remove the front fuel bowl and metering plate. The hammer once again is here to help.
Use the hammer to tap around the metering block to loosen and remove. Pry with a flat screwdriver only as a last resort. Remove the choke assembly and vacuum housing linkages taking note of clips and fasteners.
Remove the screws holding the throttle plate to the main body and separate the body from throttle plate. Both fuel bowls and metering block will be reused. Soaking all parts in the good 'ole dip helps get things clean and softens evil adhesive gaskets.
