Double check the float-bowl attachment before anything.
The Amal on the Cota, has the usual four-screws in the corners of the float-bowl, but its also held on by a central brass screw through the bottom of the bowl around the main-jet; I suspect many older carbs may have similar arrangements.
Then I would be loath to apply gross persuasion to a float-bowl, especially an old one; often high-zink monkey metal, risk of cracking it would be high; and replacement parts likely unobtanium.....
I'd try and crack the gasket seal by twisting as a start; then pondering thermal shock... and considering the prudence of putting a blow-lamp on something that contained petrol.... or low melting point zink alloy! and wondering about whether a hair-dryer might be a little more 'gentle', then popping in the fridge and dropping into a bucket of kettle-hot.
THEN.. after lots of faff... ~I would probably resort... tentatively to some gross force.....
Or like that stubborn jar in the kitchen... asking ham-fisted Snowie to have a go.... ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!

That's happened before on a different forum - some google photos sharing nonsense I think - still visible to me so thanks for letting me know.. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750
