7. Remove the carburetor gasket, then carefully
remove the heat deflector and gasket from the
intake stud. The heat deflector is made from
a plastic that is quite brittle. Do not pry on
the corners, or you risk cracking/breaking the
deflector. If prying is necessary to loosen the
deflector, carefully pry near the intake stud only.
See Figure 8-19. Remove the mounting stud from
the cylinder only if required.
