Welcome Nick! Those early QD have a strange carb that is cast with the reed plate. Getting the float bowl off is about all you can do without a major tear down. When you get the float bowl off look for a cork donut washer between the carb body and the float bowl. They get hard and disintegrate. That seal is very important in making that baby run properly. They are easy to make with some cork gasket, a paper hole cutter and some scissors. Getting the primer pump back in when you reassemble is sometimes a challenge but one thing at a time!
