You have not answered the question, why do you need to remove the tube?
The "tube" / main nozzle and main jet is what tends to gum up and clog. You can not clear it out effectively unless it is removed from the port.
This is true. Are you convinced it is gummed up?

I say this, because I have had mine out a couple of times. I honestly cannot say it was a problem.
Before I spent $100 plus for a new carb, I would assemble it without having removed the tube. If it performed badly, I would open the carb, drill the tube out, and replace it. I think a $15 tube beats a $100 plus carb.
All good ideas that I intend to follow...buying a whole new carb will definitely be a last effort. I'm pretty sure its gummed up pretty good given how seized up in the port it seems to be.
