Default Tips drive oil bottle

Whats your best way to remove this plastic lock on top of float? Without breaking it of course...
i just want to clean that bottle it it seems to me easier to yank a motor out than this lock!

Don't know of anyone which has done it, but I would suggest putt some diesel in it and shake it up, repeat if necessary. Cleans up pretty good for me

I just use some paper towels and a screwdriver to move them around and needle nose pliers to pull them out.

Yep same here. No need to disassemble.
