Leaking carbs

[incarceration]

Lol I use the MA to clean with around the house when nothing else works and it's so cheap it came in a box of 2 gallons.

I can't seem to get the throttle adjustment cable off of the top of the carb. I can't get any tool in there to loosen the nut.

How can I get this off?

You have removed the gas tank? of course, you have!

[incarceration]

Yeah I have the tank off, seat off, and the battery out

I got the pulley cable off that is attached to the throttle control but I cannot find a way to get the other pulley cable off that, when pulled, makes this horizontal bar that is connected to the 2 carbs move side to side. It screws into itself into a little aluminum pipe and has the cable go through it and is locked in

Red arrow: the part that unscrews
Blue arrow: the horizontal bar that moves when i pull up on the part that unscrews
Green arrow: the cable attached to the throttle control, I got that off easily

I'm having trouble envisioning this problem - how about a pic with your I- phone? sooner or later a 450 owner will chime in to offer advice!
Edit:Great, you added pic while I was posting

I can take others if necessary

I can take others if necessary

The only thing necessary is for a 450 owner to explain how simple it is! You probably need to loosen up cable at throttle grip to get some "looseness" at carb end, so cable can be unhooked.

Already got that one off, I can't find out how to get the other off that I marked with the red and blue arrows

[incarceration]

The one I cannot get off is the choke cable

[incarceration]

I see the cable is attached to the horizontal rod but I cannot figure out how to get it detached. I'm trying to get the 2 screws off on the top of the one carb that looks like it's attached to the rod but one screw refuses to loosen up lol

[tom203]

Lets bump you up. 450 folks must be in conference somewhere. Does this pic help? Yeah, it's tiny but you can backtrack and see it full size; The horizontal bar (part #54 - they call it the "starter rod" ) links the carbs

You can see from 12:30 to the end what I'm having a problem with and apparently so is this assumed experienced redneck older guy

I got the carbs freed!
Now what do you recommend Tom?
Follow that PDF? That PDF seems to have a different model

[incarceration]

What model number is this carb? This is the one I have.
