Are there any rebuild kits out there that you guys get all fluffy about when you need one? I need one for my 250sx and was just wondering if one off ebay for $20 has around the same quality as a name brand one? Would this go for all carb kits?

search key?
some say mooose is just not good.

I believe shindy is oem for honda.
(or not)
I got one with 2 different length float valves....
maybe to imitate some sort of sick 'float adjustment'.

Got my sx kit from a local Triumph dealer.
18 bucks.

Still not too sure why mine works.

All I've ever needed from a kit is the bowl gasket / 'o' ring
say in the last 12 carbs I've done.

Usually just old gas gunk.

These are the ones I've been buying lately. Bought about 10 so far in recent months. No problems with these kits to report.

The part I need is the bowl gasket so I figured I would just rebuild the entire thing.

Thanks Flyingw, thats a bit cheaper than the one I was looking at.
