HPI S-25 carb will not come off

[bustedgears]

I cannot get my Carb off of this engine, It rotates easily, but will not pull off.

Anything I'm missing?

Look at thier site to see if there are any updates or instructions? Mills aren't my thing.

the pinch bolt may be screwed..
wanna had that problem... after you unscrew the screw a bit.. try pushing it in a little and pulling the carb.. its hard to get off but shouldnt be to hard..

exactly right....you may have to dremel a grove in the backside of the pinch bolt so you can twist it with a screw driver as you pull on the carb. (Thats what i had to do.) Sometimes the bolt gets twisted inside the crackcase.

Pince bolt all the way out?? Not sure about the savage mill, but have ran into some that the bolt had to be removed before the carb came off.
