<html><body>Recommend you remove both carbs as a unit, and put new seals in both-rebuilding one will do no good, and if you want to get rid of leaks you should address each one. Its not a bad job on the bench-mostly cleanup...then reinstall as a unit-slips right back into position with inlet manifold.

I'm not sure you can remove only one carb. With the linkage and the length of the mounting studs you could bend or break something. Let us know if you are successful. And how did you get away with not doing anything for 30 years. You must have had it stored
for 29 years.<br>

It has been thirty years since the last time I needed to do anything major on my BJ7 so my memory is not quite clear. Can I remove the rear carb independently from the front carb? I have already designed a tool to access the lower hold down bolts. If I remember
correctly, I may have rebuilt and installed the carburetors when I rebuilt the engine, so access was not much of a problem.</div>
