Good score!

I recommend two things:
1. Buy a shop manual. It doesn't really matter if it is Clymer / Haynes / whatever, but Haynes is my personal favourite. Around here they're about $25.
2. Buy an o-ring kit. I'll bet that Harbor Freight has them for cheap. I bought a very comprehensive o-ring kit for $10.

The manual will tell you everything you need to know, including torque values and preliminary carb settings. I would stay away from RTV inside the carb.

Cheers!
