....John, you did it right...you took your time bud....
The biggest problem a new guy will have is, quite literally, the nervous factor....honest.
Aside from that you should watch the following things...
Make careful note of the current screw depths/protrusion so you can duplicate them when you do the reinstall...
Next, make sure you look closely at the index marks on the throttle shaft and the "tick marked" plate when you remove the large 8mm hex allen cap screw that holds the throttle rod/assembly in place...
Next and most irritating is the little "top hat" thingy in the pump. .... it can be a bit springy and want to get away on you if you're not careful.
Other than that, it's not bad at all....just take your time..

Ya might want to think about Getting a Throttle shaft Bushing while your at it. Mine always leaked at Startup and I put a new one in when I done the spring and No more leaks

Yup, for future reference the tick mark on the little shaft/stub almost always lines up with what you'd describe as the 10:00 and 4:00 position on the tick marked plate. Course the little teeth on the index "gear" are pretty small so just one "tooth" off can mean no top end throttle or one WILD RIDE !!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh....ya gotta luv livin on the edge don't ya
