"You can actually access all the jets on these carbs from the "outside". Might be tight, but doable. In order to get to the floater valve, you have to lift the carburator top (the plate where the flame arrestors mount) and if you lift that one, you will need a new gasket.
In any case, do not remove any jets/nozzles w/o replacing the associated copper washer/seal.
These are cheap and a kit sold by may Volvo dealers (though from Sierra Marine) is about $25/carb."
