SUCCESS!!! I pulled the flywheel shroud & found a large nest surrounding the ignition coil and the governor's air vane! The residents even feasted on the spark plug wire! I cleaned it all out, wrapped up the coil wire with electrical tape, reassembled everything & she idles down now. After some high & low speed needle adjustments, this little guy can purr (SMOOTHLY about 500rpm) or scream at around 4000 RPM. 
Thanks all! Marty
