How do I get the carb out of the bike. I have the maintenance manual and i am not able to remove it the way the manual says. Is there a trick to it? Do I need to remove the engine flanges? I am looking for any suggestions... thank you.

what i've always done is after disconnecting the air box, the throttle cable and the choke, is to push down on the rear of the carbs. that usually gets them out. they're in there pretty tight, so getting them back in is also usually a chore. a little WD-40 usually helps. good luck.
