You're right about sometimes it is necessary to remove the carb. However I've been cleaning them for people and myself for years and very seldom did I have to remove the carb. It's a matter of using carb cleaner and blowing out the port holes.
Cate evidently felt it necessary to take it off and that was probably a good learning adventure for her.
