I know, but when you read about some of these unicorns there is a "secret patent" and the inventer person wont give up a patent number or details hence the secret.

Only everything.
There is more than one kind of lawn mower carb. They don't all use the same one.
Was it a carb for a 3 horsepower mower or a 20 horsepower twin cylinder engine? 2 or 4 cycle engine?
Which company manufactured the carb or what engine did it come off?
A rough guess at the year it was made would be handy.

The ultimate question is what does the primative lawn mower carb offer that an advanced 2 or 4 barrel carb does not?

This is what we do.
I am a diesel mechanic by trade and its also my hobby.
Give us something.
All the modifications I have done are covered in detail on different posts.
I'm not hiding anything.
If I used a lawn mower carb to fuel a vehicle that got exceptional MPGs I would have a wiki post with pictures and detailed decriptions of what I did along was air/fuel ratio measurements.
