I helped a friend take apart a Marvel Shebler carburetor that he bought on ebay. I never worked so hard to get a float seat out. Everything was hard to get apart even the choke plate. I think a previous person must have used permanent thread lock on all threads. No wonder it was on ebay as the owner probably could not get it apart.
 
Sorry to hear that ,had some issues with Fordson Holley float bowl disassemble, Do not want revisit that again.
Ive heard that marvel sheblers are more difficult to work on, but I havent had any experience with them .
Suggestion I ve had my son make special flat blade jet removal tools to get a good tight fit to remove jets that have a lot carbon corrosion build up. Regular craft man screwdriver will tear up a tight jet .
We make the slot headed tool with heavy body to enter threaded bore and put a hex head on it to use breaker bar and socket of a convenient size to break loose after heating. Dont want the body of the tool to cock during the turn in the bore of the jet. That will strip the slot out. If that happens you will leave it of carefully use a milling machine and drill it out .if you can find a jet to replace it.
Ive carefully heated bowl evenly to remove the 1/8 pipe plugs to access the jets, ports etc. but if its rare one of a kind. Caution is king.
 
Dennis, I agree with all you said except the part about Marvel-Schebler carbs being difficult to work on.....one of the easiest carbs to work on ever in my opinion.

ep, can not get much simpler.
 
It was only difficult to work on because of the locktite, nothing came loose easily, had to use heat . Finally came apart.
