From this point on we will disconnect the carb from the head. This will make it so we can perform the next step easier

Slowly pull from the top "gold" handle towards you. Do this from the opposite side of where you are pulling. You will need to use some strength but not a lot. This should easily disconnect the carb from the head

Do not pull the carburetor off and away from the bike as of yet. There are still the throttle cables and choke cables that need to be removed. Otherwise, you could break these.
