A whole tamper proof carb? 2019 apollo db36 deluxe
My apollo super moto appears to have a full tantrum proof carb? They grinded down even all the bolts that are on the carb holding it to the engine..only workable thing is the screw thats holding the carb to the air box, other than that all the other bolts on the carb are 100% grinded down. There is only a nut at the other end. I'm gonna try to take it off to see if it works but I'm pretty confused right now.

Those screws are easy to get out of the carb. I took a pair of ( I call ) needle nose vise-grips and removed them. You can get a side bite and just wind them out. Also there is one on the top that holds the throttle cable and slide assembly. It is very small and hard to see.

I will take some pics soon and post them. I was so surprised and shocked. I'm finding many things that are tamper proof like they don't want you messing with or adjusying anything at all. Taking the carb off took way longer than it should have haha all of a sudden I'm wishing I was still working on my Bashan storm! Everything was so easy to get to and I actually don't remember much being tamper proof.

Here is a pic of what the nuts and bolts look like...the bolts have no head at all they are completely flat/grinded down. I used those tools to get all of it off and its just tedious haha

That's pretty common to use studs like that. Most of the old Hondas I've had over the years used studs in the engine and the intake manifold slipped over them, and is held on with nuts.
