You have to remove the entire rack of carbs . Then pull the chocke rod, remove the carb tops and remove the linkage rod. Then the screws that hold the carbs to the plate. Just be sure to get the slides back in the same carb they came from. It's actually pretty easy to do. But, defininately the Tee's with the o-rings. I run them and they work great. O-rings are replaceable.

You can replace them and have it back together in 1-2 hrs.

Most metric "O" rings can be purchased locally at a auto parts store, even some Home Despot, or for about $12 you can get a large kit from Harbor Fright Lol, probably have the size you need.
