what’s leaking from the carb?
would this be gas leaking from the carb box area causing this? I checked the gas line in and float area and those seemed tight. (the first picture showing below and behind the carb area is after i had cleaned up a lot of the gunk. The second one is from under the carb box). i don’t have the grommet/rubber piece that goes in the back of the carb at the air-gas mixture screw so I assume it is leaking out there? Thanks

The rubber grommet is the winter plug. Pull it out in the winter for less dense air. Nobody does that!
Don't forget to once in a while retorque bolts but yeah they are messy.
To degrease I get a couple of cans of CRC electrical contact cleaner, put down a bunch of newspaper and spray the snot out of it. You will be pleasantly surprised and you don't need to put water on your motor!
