Hi, I'm trying to take my carbs apart for a good cleaning.  The bike was in a storage shed for 16 years and is a 1975 cb750f super sport.  The engine is not siezed and turns over.  My problem is this carburetor linkage that I'm not familiar with.  Each carb has these two lifters that pull the needle jet up and down.  The lifters are connected to a bar that's controlled by the two throttle cables.  The bar seems to be frozen up.  The slides are all down and would not move up and down because of the stuck bar.  My question is do I disconnect the lifters from the carbs by tapping the bar out the other side or do I just take the big nut on each carb loose and take the round covers off?  I have a clymer's manual but they don't seem to touch on this.  Has anyone had this problem?  Any and all help will certainly be appreciated.  This is my first post...
