Ryland, this is very helpful information as you have inspired confidence within me!
So if I remove the bottom half to replace carb insulator gasket, would I need to completely remove the top half of the carburetor instead of flopping it aside?
Are you aware of any carb adjusting tool for easily adjusting the Honda Keihin Carburetor w/o removing the air cleaner?
I was not able to find the Schley Products Unit P/N 87100 recommended for adjusting the Honda Keihin carburetors.

At this point if the base gasket wasn't an issue you'd rebuild the lower half while it's on the car, the accelerator pump is the only part that's hard to reach, but your base gask leaks so pull the bottom half the carb off, 3 to 5 minutes.
Check and clean, replace jets and gaskets, 20 minutes.
Read the repair book again, ten minutes.
Read the book again, 5 minutes.
Put it back together, 15 minutes.
Wash the gas smell out of your hands and change clothes, 20 minutes.
If you've done it before it might take half as long.
