Here is the schematic showing the Inlet Valve.

I’m thinking that, after you remove the clip that’s just above the float, the float just slides up and off the pin (inlet valve) then after the float is removed, you can remove the clip that’s under the float, then the valve slides out from the bottom of the float bowl.  Tomorrow I’ll make a tool that I can slide down the side of the cork float then twist and pull the float up and off the pin (inlet valve)?

So my “in general” statement did not apply.  That is not the kind of pin or screw hinge I was thinking off.  Here there is no hinge.  I would think taking off that top clip you found should let the float slide up and off.  Based off of the diagram, you shouldn’t need to worry about the lower clip.  Once the float is off, (and there are no other non-metal pieces attached to the carburetor) you can spray carburetor cleaner through all the passageways to clean it out.  Sometimes, there is no need to take apart every piece.  Then again, I have not worked on your carburetor before so go ahead and investigate!
