I want a carb rebuild kit that's fairly priced, and makes the job easy and has all the rubber.

I think I will be 're-jetting' anyways, so don't care about jets being included.

What are the top recommendations for kits?

My bike has been sitting for about 2 years, so I want to fully clean and rebuild.

Best way to clean carbs is with an ultrasonic cleaner..........but no one ever seems to recommend the process except me

Sure bud, ultrasonic is the way to go. I was asking about rebuild kits. Like the ones that come with all the gaskets you need to re-do the carb after the cleaning.

I have bought a few of these kits from this supplier and I have nothing to complain about....... but I am not in the USA

If you are going to rebuild a carb it males sense to replace ALL the serviceable parts.......not just the ones you can see and get to!!

Just stick with a reputable name from a reputable source and you wont go wrong.

These kit are good and inexpensive.  Ship quickly from USA. (Not everything from this seller ships from is USA, but the GS kits do)

It comes with lots of parts and seals.

It has all the rubber seals except the o-ring on the plastic float holder. I matched those up at the hardware store.

It doesn't include the o-rings for the fuel inlet Tee, but I never see that in a carb kit.
