Question: Do you have to take gas tank off to get carburetor off the quad. ?? 

It's gummed up again and needs cleaning. Put Sea foam in tank hoping it would dissolve any crud. No joy

You don't have to take the tank off.  Sometimes it makes life easier but it should be able to come off without taking the tank off.  I like to loosen both clamps first.   Disconnect the gas lone, pull the carb out so you can take the throttle cable and the choke cable off.  Re assemble in the same way.

Ok. Sounds good. 

I seen something about loosen clamps and turn to take bottom off float to change out jet.  Would that be enough to get out what's gumming it up. ??

Any videos you know of ??

Thanks for your reply

Honestly heres my take.  If its at the point where you feel its bad and a possibility that the  tank my have skunk gas as well then pull the tank and clean the carburetor and tank properly.   I've very rarely had luck by rotating and cleaning the carburetor in place.  You only wind up pulling it all out again.

Ok. Thanks. 

Ill let you know what I find

@T_bell40 I like to take the bolts out if the airbox so it will push back a bit, helps me get the carb out easier. Waste of time to try to clean without removing IMO
