Ebay = Good carb rebuild kit?

Tell me your thoughts on this, is it a cheap kit that will not last long, or is it an ok rebuild?

They have a good rating, it might be ok, let us know what you think of the kit when you get it. You could always pick up a kit from a known good dealer and compare the two.

I found an online dealer that stocks the Hygrade/Standard brand rebuild kit that everybody talks about, but I'm having trouble finding it again.

I am considering the GP Sorenson kit.

I cant see the ebay link (work cockblockage)

Yea the Standard/Hygrade/GP Sorenson kits are the best and only kits I use. I can get you one if you need it.

Get all the pieces out of the bags and lay them out on a table. Be careful not to loose anything. Take a pic of it then and we can tell you how good it looks. Seems to include everything you need, but its hard to tell with the glare on the bags.

Your kit has the aluminum sealing washers, ap diaphram, needles and seats, o-rings and looks like the cotter pins too. You should be good.
