you can try some carb cleaner around the rim then warm water soaking will drop it .. anyway get the carb out to refurb it and check the float etc… you will need to clean the inside metallic filter also by soaking it in carb cleaner followed by air blasts .
sometimes after soaking a gentle wack with a small piece of wood will loosen it of gasket … work slow…. be patient  nothing is holding it in but dried gunk

did I tell you the Johnson bible was the best 20$ investment for you… just download and print locally double sided and make 2 spring bound binders with plastic cover sheets.  400 pages of good info on oldies  comes in RED or White 🙂 see pic below on QD FD but same for AD CD versions of the 5.5 and 7.5 hp

the other good starter book in cheaper download version is CHEAP OUTBOARDS by Max E. Wawzynik . IT is concentrated on the 5.5hp – 7.5hp  ISBN 978-1-891369-62-9
