Excellent writeup!
I just went through this back at Christmas time when I pulled out my Honda during a power outage, only to find it would only run without loping by turning the choke 1/2 on.
The only thing I would add is a stern warning to keep the carb upside down and level when removing the float bowl. The little pin that holds the float is trapped by the bowl and likes to slip out at the slightest motion. They can be found off of the floor among the junk (ask me how I know), but you're better off avoiding the stress.
Also, I didn't bother removing any of the clear tubing. It just means you have to be more careful and spray the carb cleaner away from the case.
