Everythign screws out of the carbs..

You should have.

Main Jet & Emulsion Tube.
Pilot Jet

I think the float holder unscrews.

As above, but there is also a brass tube press fitted in there (something to do with fuel circuitry?), but I've never noticed any markings on them. See Cammo's pic below:

The float is secured by a pin that can be removed.
