I bought the rebuild kit from Carbking. I never considered NAPA or others but wanted input on the service provided by those who specialize in this area. I can tell you that I had a couple of conversations with Jon (Carbking) and just his expertise regarding carburetor set-up and potential issues with six-cylinders (puddling) was worth way more than the cost of the kit. When I got the kit, one of the gaskets had questionable fit in one area and I sent a pic to Jon and he wanted to send me another as he thought maybe the wrong one was put in the kit. It wasn't a big deal and I told Jon I'll just relieve the area in question. What impressed me the most about Jon is that I contacted him with the fit question via e-mail and he requested that I call him to discuss. He took time to review what I sent him and immediately sought to correct it. This is exactly the kind of person I am looking to do business with and overall I feel that I got a bargain. I would not even consider going anywhere else for carburetor parts and highly recommend Carbking to all.

I finally got it all together this past weeknd as I got caught up in stripping most of the engine, cleaning, painting, etc., and the carb was the last to be done. It runs great, the rough idle is gone and power (what there is of it........lol) is very smooth.
