Thanks for the tips Jeff.
Right after I sent that email I thought, "It can't really be that hard." and
went back out to the garage. I gave it a pretty thorough look-over and the
part that was confusing me was the way it was "attached" to the air box. It
turned out that there were long bolts going through the entire assembly and
bushings that dropped down through some of the plastic-work and into the
carb. So removing the bolts didn't free the carb up, but when I figured out
that those bushings were there and pulled them out it all slid right apart
(sort of).
I tore it all down, gave it an hour or two in carb dip and reassembled with
new gaskets and such and after a bit of adjustment the mower runs like new.
More importantly, all of our cars are back where they belong.
Thanks,
-Paul
