Default Carb tricks

06 300

Can you remove the carb without pulling the gas tank off?? If so whats the trick. I made an attempt but got nowhere. Pulling the tank is pretty simple so it's not a big deal. Just curious.

my carb has the ltr jet kit. 178 main 45 pilot. What is the difference between keeping the 178 and raising the needle one clip or leaving the needle in the 3 position and putting a 180 in?? I had a more experienced 2T rider tell me the jetting was pretty good but not spot on. He said he wasn't the greatest carb tuner but thought i might try raising the needle one clip. While I had the carb apart I decided that it would be easier to put hte 180 in than to wrestle with that Spring over the slide .....

Which leads me to my last question. Any tips or tricks for wrestling with the slide spring?? I usually use a screw driver and my hand to bunch it up then wrestle the cable out. any better techiques out there??
