GP-Sorensen is good, most guys have used it to rebuild their carbs. It does come with the needles but it does NOT come with the floats

If you are replacing the floats yes you would need a primary and secondary.

If you look about halfway into my "Project Resurrection" thread, I show a photo of the contents of the Sorensen kit, and also one from Black Dragon.

napa also sells full reman carbs. too expensive. rebuild what you have and learn something and pay next to nothing (when compared to a new carb).

Yeah, even if you count parts cleaner, gloves, paper towels, etc, a rebuild won't cost you more than about $55 cash... And the time is well-spent.
