Got the thing out about ten minutes ago...
That O-ring?
Wasn't an O-ring...
Basically, there was black goo packed in the groove around the needle valve.
Fortunately, the needle valve itself looks d@mn near brand new. *wipes nervous sweat from brow with a sigh of relief* $37 is a Ridiculous Price to pay in my opinion.
I think what was happening (aside from the rubber disentigrating) was when I'd run it, it would get suction past the outside of that valve, which at throttle, didn't do much except cause a rich condition. When I'd let off the throttle, gas was still flowing past the valve and puking out the vent tubes. I'd shut off the fuel with the petc0ck and it'd stop running all over the driveway.
So, I'm off to the parts store to find an O-ring and hopefully, that will solve my problem and I can down the business of actually riding!
(Who the Hell thought it was good idea to mix food with gasoline anyway? If I want corn while I'm riding or driving, I'll listen to the effing farm report...)
