At 15,000 it's time to look at the cam chain.
That's possibly why it was parked.
I'd pop the valve covers and get the timing plug out of the left engine case, and check the valve motion and you can even feel compression. You can try rolling it in gear.
But, at 15,000 miles, it's due a valve adjustment and, unless the previous owner kept up with the cam chain, dude, it's seriously time.

What gave it away?

The clamps on mine could be opened up far enough to get them on after the fact - but I wouldn't want to do that too many times. They're not great quality!

No sense of me buying something that runs perfectly then I go to try and fix it and mess it up

I don't know. In all honesty, if you are asking questions about how to install a carb and believe that you need a special tool to remove a spark plug, then I wonder if you have the necessary basic skills to undertake a cam chain tensioner.

What tools are in your tool box? Up until removing and unsuccessfully reinstalling your carb, what is your experience working on engines? The cam chain tensioner is not a good starting point for a new mechanic.

And as far as to reinstall the carb I was just seeing if any one knew of a easier way to get the carb back in between the boots because of how tight the fit was
