KTA Carb question

Tom RS · Jun 18, 2022

I'm trying to take my carb apart to clean it and check float and needle.
I have the 5 screws out but it doesn't want to separate. Is this a carb where the needle or seat housing needs to come out first?

its probably stuck around the venturi, give it some love taps.

Have had the TTX carbs stuck so bad that venturi breaks off. Be careful and work it slowly maybe using some penetrating concoction if starts to separate a bit. They can be nasty. Have most parts for TTX except venturi's

Just to ad. There is a long brass tube that connects the two halves. You cannot rotate left or right. I has to come straight off or tube will twist off.

Had a sticky bugger too. Next size bigger I think.
Lots of spray to sooth our thoughts.
Very little wiggle room. GB is correct. Just a tiny wiggle/twisting room.
I drove wedges (screwdriver bits) in between the two castings.
Sprayed and tapped, tapped and sprayed. And wiggled. Maybe I heated with the little torch.
Keep at it. Patience is the key.
When it's ready. Bloop! It starts to move.
Then it's cooking out the rust so you can remove the main jet and clean that and the myriad of small holes up.
Grind a screwdriver to suit. Happy.
