Well, I was attempting to get down to the head, and it took me a little while to get all the metal free, after finding all the bolts. I opened up the carb again, and there was some more crud in it, so I cleaned it back up. It was pretty filthy under that metal, I've never had it all the way off, so I know I've never cleaned under there. I suspect that as oil has spewed all over, it really caused it to gunk up, and trap all that crap.
A few things I found... Some oil under the air filter (pic. attached). It also appeared that the choke had been bent down, and I don't think it could actually open up all the way. It would hit the metal bracket where the air filter mounts. I also picked up a fuel filter today, because mine didn't look too great.
I've put in a few pics just so you can see where I'm at.
