Nope, dont need to. I replaced both gaskets (and the o-ring seal) on my carbs
recently. All you need is a mirror and a stubby flat-head screwdriver
(the mirror is there to help you locate the screw heads). There
are 5 (I think) screws to be undone, and the float chamber will pop right off.
If there is fuel in the chamber, be prepared for a little sloshing. The
screws are different lengths, so note which ones go where. Also remove
the chamber carefully as the float-bowl will swing down. Reassembly is the
reverse. A 5 minute job per carb, easy even for me (klutzy neophyte mechanic).
