          You do NOT need a carb rebuild kit just order some o-rings from www.cycleorings.com and follow Ed's tutorial he gave you the link for.

              what they said

              bucket of carb dip, and a minimum of about 5 days (One per carb + 1)

              and while ordering the carb o-rings, also concider the intake boot orings and a set of the bolts.
