Most of it anyway.

It is possible to work on the float and needle valve just by loosening the boots (and maybe cables) and rotating the carb enough to get the bowl off......without actually removing the carb.

If you have small hands and good eyes, that might be a workable option. Getting full strength cleaner directly into the bowl might be an option too. That won't help, of course, if the float itself has failed.....but I think that is pretty rare.
