78 gs750b Carb removal issues 29,000

[altermad]

Hello again, I'm trying to remove my carbs as to clean and cannot get them to budge just wiggle. What am I doing wrong? I'm using clymers, also I was attempting to disconnect tubes and it the metal nipple came out, I cannot get out without cutting line. How bad is it? can it be reattached?
thanks

Pics This is a VM carb right?

Now this is a 78 but a gs750b (b meaning 77 model) is this correct?

To remove the carbs you want to disconnect the clamps on the back side of the carbs, unbolt the airbox and slide it back as far as it will go. Once you have the airbox back you can unbolt the clamps on the front of the carbs and then wiggle them and pull them backwards to seperate them from the rubber boots.

Regarding the nipple in your photo, not sure what that is. Take a photo showing where it came from so we can understand better.

here's the pic and carb is now off thanks!

The hole to the center right is where the connection came out of. Again thanks for the help.

That's an overflow vent. There's another one on the left side.

Do you have a manual?

The first photo is your cam chain tensioner, leave that alone.

Look what I found!

Hi Mr. altermad,

You can find some VM carb rebuild information here. This is courtesy of Paul Musser and The GS Resources. I hope it helps.


Thank you for your indulgence,
