The four intakes that attach the carb set to the engine. As I recall each of those is attached to the engine with 2 allen bolts each. They're not that easy to get to, but I can usually get them all off and the carb out in under 30mins. They're not that easy to get to, but I don't like putting that much force on those 25yr old plastic pieces.
