It’s pretty standard practice for an EFI intake runner to cover important fuel system parts. Some are easier to take off than others. You might consider this a pain in the butt; but compared to four stroke carbs, EFI is usually WAY easier to service. Unless it’s a small motor, I won’t even touch four stroke carbs any more.

I agree that those carbs can be bad to work on. A year ago, I decided not to try to fix one of 4 carbs on my brother-in-laws 2004 50 HP Yamaha 4-stroke. From what I could see and what guys here at the site said, it looked like a terrible, meticulous job to do, and I would have been learning on his motor, and he’s very particular about it. He was quoted $1300 to fix it by a dealer so he traded up to a new fuel injected version.
