Hi Blake. I just took a look in my Haynes carb manual at the disassembly
procedure. Here's what it says:
"Unscrew and remove jet adjusting screw. Remove and discard O-ring. Unscrew
jet assembly (5/8 in A/F spanner). Remove and discard O-ring."
Note that this is in the middle of instructions for dismantling the carb, so
there may be gotchas. For example, I think the needle pokes down through the
jet. So you might want to take off the top and pull out the air valve.
