I took everyones advice and bought the shindy carb kit to rebuild a leaking carb. In the process found the petcock to be leaking as well so replaced it after fighting the bolts out of the tank. Also did valve adjustment while the tank was out (hopefully did it correctly). Anyways pulled the carb last night to start the rebuild only to find out that it was a aftermarket freaking carb! All internal parts are different. So now I am guessing the only good option is to order a OEM carb, and keep the kit for down the road. This thing might be the death of me, because issue after issue is causing me to drink.

Try powersportsnation.com They have good used parts and stand behind what they sell.
