Carburetor question?

So I was able to get the motor on my Ct70 freed up but I still need to clean the carburetor. I am struggling to get the throttle cable to slide out of the carb is there some sort of trick or a screw that I need to remove or should it just slide out when you unscrew the cap?

It should slide right out when you unscrew the carb cap, it is probably stuck to the carb throat. You can try spraying some carb or contact cleaner on the slide to see if it will dissolve the "varnish" and free up the slide. You could disassemble the rest of the carb completely and soak the carb in a 50/50 mix of Pine-Sol and water for 8 hours maximum and see if that helps. A 30 to 60 minute dip in an ultrasonic dip tank might be a last resort to break it free and clean the carb at the same time.
