Have you taken an engine apart before? I would completely disassemble it, clean it to make sure no grime or dirt got inside the engine. Put it back together. Make sure you seal the carb and backplate. That's that I would do at least.

do you still have the pinch bolt?there is a reason the carb fell off,kind of important you know why and rectify that problem.then yes as stated above tear ut down,spray it out with the cleaner of your choice,then re assemble sealing the carb neck and back plate with high temp copper rtv

no, don't spray it out, take it apart and clean it

only you can tell if the carb is usable - we can't see it, but it probably is

yes, it will likely need to be retuned

Don't take this the wrong way, but you probably need to take a litttle more time with maintanence and cleaning when it comes to your vehicles. You have to periodically check your vehicles for loose screws, stripped wires, broken parts before and after you run. These cars and trucks take amazing amounts of abuse, but will not last without some care and effort on your part. After I take my vehicles out I always clean them, check for broken parts, empty the fuel tank, use after-run oil, etc. Nothing is more frustrating then wanting to go out and bash your vehicle only to realize it won't start because you had broken a part or lost a screw last time you ran it and didn't notice. It's happened to me. Just spend a little more time maintaining your vehicles and you'll be alot happier. Again, I'm not trying to put you down, just offering a litttle constructive criticism.

^agreed,after every heavy session i go thru and check screws,retighten,check for cracks,all it takes is to nose it into the ground one time and you will be amazed at how many screws work loose
