How do you get at the carb?

[deadcat]

Stoopid noobe question I know but I've cussed up a storm and still no answer.

The metal bracket that holds the front of the floorboard to the bike won't slide up far enough to clear the floorboard. Short of ripping it out (which I nearly did, how is this thing supposed to come out?

I'm trying to remove the carb for cleaning as she won't crank or run and all I've succeeded in doing is pissing myself off.

It's a 2006 and has been sitting for over a year. Last time I tried to fire her up, she ran but would die if I gave her any throttle at all. I figure the carb needs a good cleaning but since I can't figure out how to get to it, I begrudgingly admit I could be wrong.

HAAAAAAALLLLPPPP !!!!!!!

Thanks
