you will need a short phillips screwdriver just shut off the gas run it till it goes out hold the throttle down to expell all the gas from the bowels take them off.do them one at a time not to mix them up there is a difference in the bowles you could also take off the choke hose and turn them out alittle to make it easier to get to the bowel screws.

That's what I always do....Take the choke tube off, loosen up the hose clamps that secure the carbs, and then rotate them slightly to gain better access to the screws on the bottom of the carb. A stubby phillips head screw driver is a huge help. I never took the carbs completely off to change the jets unless I was cleaning them too.

 

If you do it that way, just DO NOT forget to put the choke tube back on and tighten the hose clamps!!

if you still have the TORS on top of the stock carbs, it's about impossible to change your jets without pulling them all the way out. if you decide to change your jets without pulling the carbs, just be sure you don't bend the float level tab. it would be very easy to do.
