1967 Evinrude Carb Removal

[cjray03]

HI, I have to either clean or rebuild the carb on my 67 Evinrude 40hp motor. I haven't worked on it yet and noticed that looks like I have to remove the starter and distributer to get the carb off. I am asking if there's a trick or a way to get it off without all that. Thanks

Removing starter and flywheel does make it easier.-----Is there a belt driven generator as well ?----Model # is ?

Distributor? The Ignition System is located under the Flywheel. I haven't removed the Flywheel when taking the Carb off, unless I was also replacing Ignition Parts on the 1960s 40hps

Sorry yeah I guess what I thought was a distributor is a generator. I didn't have to remove the flywheel but did have to pull the starter and generator. Got it going really nice now. Thanks for the replies.
