Success!!! It took me two afternoons to pull off, but I successfully took it apart, cleaned it and and put it back together again. Once I put it back on my Burb I had to crank it a little bit to draw up the fuel. After that is started right up and ran great. There is still a slight bog in acceleration especially when cold, but it runs much better now. I still have some adjusting on the curb idle, high idle and electric choke to do. I re-read the rebuild manual I pulled off line and I think I can straighten it out tomorrow. The engine tends to idle really high and doesn't want to come back down to normal idle.
Anyway, I'm pretty psyched. I was afraid it wouldn't do anything once I got it back together.
