Sterling and Carl have written excellent articles on carb rebuilding. They are in the FAQ stickied at the top of the 1st Gen main page.

The kits from autozone, what brand are they? Are they as rubbish as the black dragon kit?

Very few aluminum crush washers; mostly fiber washers for the small round parts. No new crush washers for most of the fuel inlet (only 3? fuel inlet alone uses 6!), only 2 of those tiny cotter pins (carb uses 4 just for linkages, not to mention vacuum parts); o-rings for the bowl glasses insted of cut flat rubbers, no jet gaskets (unless that's what the fiber washers are for?)...

I just ordered one from AutoZone; GP Sorensen. Looks to have all the appropriate crush washers and such, per the pic. I'll have it in a few days.

Previous Sorensen kit I ordered years back was fully complete.

I tried to order a kit from both Advanced and O'Reilly yesterday... both stores told me it was discontinued! I just ordered the same GP Sorensen kit online from AutoZone. Everything work out with your kit, Divin?

I haven't reassembled yet, but the Sorensen kit looks good; Pix here in my ongoing saga thread:

Sorenson and Standard are 2 of the 3 good ones, all packaged by the same company under different brand names. Even identical instruction sheets
