Can NC35 float valve seats be replaced?

One of my float valves is sticking open but it seems to be more related to the seat than the valve. On the 30, I remember these just threading out but on the 35, I can't see how you remove them. Are they replaceable?

Cheers!

Nightmare. I'll try a set of replacement valves and see how it goes.
Interestingly, the part number on the NC30 fiche appears to be for seats and valves and so is different to that of the NC35 (valves only)
So, next question is does anyoen know for sure if the valves are different?
Will give David Silver spares a shout to see how much NC35 ones are. There are some NC30 ones on fleabay (valves only) that I might take a chance on.

Yes, the nc30 valve seats screw out (10mm hex head). If you have a pic of the nc35 valves I can tell you if they're different to nc30 valves. I reckon they will be.

Wow, £26 plus VAT per valve! :o
Thought just for a laugh I'd see how much brand new carbs were.... £400 + VAT. Per carb. A new set would be considerably more than what the bike is worth.
Cheers Cammo, I'm going to try one last idea to get the old ones working and if this fails, I'll post some pics to compare with NC30 ones.
