Pulling the fuel back into the float bowl is going to s**k with a dead battery.

When you get everything loose unwrap the cable from the wheel that controls the butterfly valve and you'll see where the lead cable end fits in a slot, just pull it out. No sweat, you'll see it when you get into it.

hey I have two harleys in the back yard rusting away until I get my license back.

I don't get your meaning when you say evolved. Somehow the air/fuel mix got screwed up. It got lean. It may have another path for air to enter the engine. Some engineer decided it would run good with a certain setup (OEM). Many people mess up the air box when they fool around with the carburetor by not removing it properly to do service. They just loosen the clamp and pull it out of the way creating a hole, if you have a hole you need to fix it cause it's getting unfiltered air which will screw with your rings, cylinder walls, valves and make the engine not last long.

I will refrain to comment on the sqeeky futon.

Whoa, I'm old but not that old. I'm into James Taylor. Shortly after I graduated high school people were disco dancing in bell bottoms with platform shoes. When I graduated college punk rock was big. You were cool if you had a safety pin through your eyebrow but to be honest the music was mostly late 60's influenced. I remember people coming to keg parties sniffing a little bottle of stuff they called locker room. I don't know what that was. I had a friend who was a singer in a punk rock group, his stage name was Root Boy Slim (Ralph). He would get drunk and high on whatever and dive out the second floor window of his apartment and grab a tree branch which would swing him down to the sidewalk. One day he missed and fell to the sidewalk, he was paralyzed for a month before he died. Once he had a jeep re-poed he drove it into Tuckahoe swamp and got it stuck when they came to get it all you could see was the top of the roof. The creek flooded.
