Exactly how does one remove the Venturi tube?

Hello Dave,

The PO rebuilt the exhaust, along with most everything else, within the past two or three years. I would estimate that it has less than 100 sailing hours on it.

Is that the hard, copper line that screws into the block close to the carb? If so, yes, it is connected and dry.

Do these plugs require pipe tape, or was that just something that the PO was doing?
