I think it requires a hot red head in a tight silver suit.

As I was flying through my scroll, I had to do a reverse......and she does at that.

Just to close this thread out, I installed all of the replacement parts (fuel lines, petcock/screen, etc.) along with a DynoJet Jet kit yesterday and got her running again.  Took her for a quick spin to the gas station to fill up the tank but didn't get to really shake things down until today when I put 40 miles on her.  All seems to be in order now ... no more gas pouring out from the carb vent.    There was another screen that was supposed to be installed on the fuel inlet to the carb but it was missing so I ordered that part as well.  No doubt it would have prevented the carb from getting re-fouled the first time I cleaned her up, although it might have eventually clogged up with the crap that was sitting upstream.  That hopefully won't be an issue moving forward.  Thanks to all for your comments and suggestions.
