There's a mouse in my house

WOW, today while continuing my basic maintenance routine, I decided to inspect the air filter to see if what the buyer sold me was cruddy and old.  I removed the left side cover, choke cable cable and all, and was shocked to see no air filter.  I immediately thought of ruined carbs, and stories of overhauls.  I did this at night in my garage and the shadows of the garage lights initially hide the fact that something else was in there beside an air filter.

I discovered to my amazement, remnants of a Little critter that had once bunked down and made himself/herself at home in the cozy voice space between the left and right carbs intakes.
I quickly removed the carb tubes, tapped up my Bings and went to work on cleaning out the nut shells, small bits of twine, and other appealing droppings left behind.  Since most of the debris was below the intake holes, I'm hoping not too much ever made it into the carbs.

Guess what rebuild I will be doring this winter, Bing.com
