NO, it is one assembly,  twila

Answer
You will remove the carb and tank as one assembly.  The only linkage(s) you will have to dis-connect are the governor rod and throttle cable, if you have a throttle cable.  The only real challanging part is of the job is installing the diaphragm and gasket.  This is actully quite easy, you just have to replace them in the correct order.  When you seperate the tank and carb the diaphagm and gasket will stick together.  Carefully seperate them and remember how they go back on.  Compressed air and carburetor cleaner work well to clean the carb.  Just re-assemble and you should be back in business.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
