Buy the kit, rebuild it yourself, whatever you do DON'T buy a "remanufactured" carb, 9 out of 10 are completely worthless.

Should be a metal tag on it with no's. on it. Makes it alot easier to get the kit. Just pay attention to what your doing, comparing parts you take out and put back in. The kits come with extra parts that fit different carbs. Mainly gaskets. I just did this too. Good luck.

When it comes to carb rebuilding cleanliness is next to godliness, if you don't have a tub of Berrymans B-12 at least buy a spray can of Berrymans and thoroughly clean your parts, an air compressor to blow out the passages would be a huge plus too, then just reassemble, it's really not that hard.

Make a area to to do it. I put down a few lint free rags. Get every thing out laid out nice and neat. Get some directions and Carb kit, I used carb cleaner, pipe cleanesr and a dremel to clean mine. Lay things out in the order you take them apart and reverse that when you put it back together. It is really easy, I also used some light machine oil to lube screws and my gaskets so nothing was going back together dry.

I would say #1 thing dont over tighten small screws or you could break them off.
