Want to clean carb on my engine. Removed the air filter, then the two nuts and one bolt that holds the plastic filter mount and carb. Removed the plastic filter mount but the carb still seems tight to the block. I looked and could not see any more bolts or nuts. Is the carb just stuck to the block or there more bolts or nuts holding it on??

Any help appreciated

The carb is held on by the two long studs and that is it.
If it has not been off for a long time the paper gasket is most likely stuck and will need to be replaced.
You will need to pull off the fuel line to the tap as there is SFA slack in it.
Then remove the choke control wire ( if fitted )
You should now be able to slide the carb off the studs.
On some engines I have to remove the studs because the throttle control rod will not allow the carb to come fully off the mounting studs.
