Anyone have luck with these carb kits from ebay?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/204075288247

There's 2 dozen or more sellers with the same kit on there. Looks interesting. I'd get from redeye, but they no longer sell the gasket kit.

Thinking of getting it just for the rubber and float needles. I'll probably re use my jets.

I recently installed the gaskets from one of those cheap kits with no problems. No way I would trust the needles or jets.

Get a pack of 6 K&L # 18-8955 float valves.
It might not be listed as fitting the Valky, but it does.
The springs in the valves are a bit stronger than stock, and the tips are viton instead of butyl rubber.

Replace the float valves while you can.
