1. Remove cowl.
2. disconnect fuel line from carb.
3. remove 2 nuts from carb flange.
4. Gently pull carb off studs, negotiating choke linkage and throttle pickup lever.

Job done....

You should have a service manual (a real one, not a seloc or clymer) for refitting, as the link and sync should be checked at the same time.
