The end carbs (at least 1964~1966) were released with fuel valve number 30-3.
The center carbs (1964~1965) were released with fuel valve number 30-9.
The center carbs (1966) were released with fuel valve number 30-13.
Sizes:
30-3 - 0.086
30-9 - 0.101
30-13 - 0.118
As Kenth stated, MOST of the renew kits DO contain generic valves; but not all of them do! Some do contain the correct parts.
Floats, and fuel valves combinations, were engineered to work with a specific fuel pressure and specific settings.
Guess what often happens if one does one's own engineering.
(Hint) there will be a discussion on one of these forums!
