That's the way I remember it, tho I could be mistaken. May be very tight,
so be sure to use something that fits the slot as best you can manage and
hold it into the slot firmly as you're turning it. Normally there's really
no reason to remove it, as you can pull the float chamber off over the brass
part to access the floats, float valve, O-ring, gasket, etc.

Some, but mostly at idle.

1970 was a transition year, so it depends on whether you've got the early or
late carbs.
Probably the easiest way to tell (if you don't have the tool) is to remove
the setscrew in the side of the piston. If it has a spring-loaded tip, the
needle is adjustable.

The series of articles on the Buckeye Triumphs website is much more useful,
IMO. Even though they don't have as much information about carbs you don't
have <G>
