400ex carb removal??

[kineo3]

Do I absolutely have to remove my carb to change the jetting in my 400ex? I was hoping I could sneak it in somewhere without having to remove gastank etc,etc.

OK, This is how I did it... I just took off the left side panel to give me more room to work with... I unhooked the gas line and I pulled up as hard as I could on the gas tank as my uncle pulled the carb over to turn it upside down... When it was upside down it was way easier to work on because you didnt have any awkward positions of the screw-driver... Then I jetted it from there...

17mm wrench and 1/4'' drive 6mm socket.turn gas off use wrench to take off drain plug,6mm socket for the main,if thats the one you are changing.I usually remove the crankcase vent also.change mains in minutes
