the 2005 version of an ETEC as a direct oil feed into the incoming fuel line for purpose of mixing in ..."some " X100 oil with Carbon gard.
you could always mix some in say 100/1 in your fuel supply or look at Evinrude products to mix in the fuel .
Some folks like SEAFOAM (see utubes)...
if you feel the top idle channel welch plug is sucking air a dab of clear nail polish or float airplane dope should stop any air leaks .
check for a clean feed route to the top drip chamber
why not try to run it for a while with some decarb product to loosen rings
some like SEAFOAM some don't other products could help before you carck it open.

"completely removed the rectifier, disconnected the stator, and the Pr/R and Gy wires that connect it to the battery loop. I also consulted an EE to make sure a disconnected stator would not cause a fire."
just make certain your engine's charging system can handle a LiFePo4 battery because ...for instance they are not recommended on more modern ETECs. They have a BMS ( bbattery management system) and don't react like a conventional lead acid or AGM battery so don't mess up your charging...
