I've gotten kits for carburetors that had parts I've never seen in a generic parts store kit. Work with the people on the website so that you only have to buy and pay shipping once. This wasn't an issue for me, as I have rebuilt probably a 1/2 ton of carburetors, but these people can steer you right.

I did exactly that. Came out great. Take your time, and take a ton of pics on disassembly. Be methodical. It will work out. I had never done one before.
