    Yes you are correct. Our quote for the rebuild was around $300.00. We bought a kit off E-bay, actually 2, for around $40.00 from Italy and did it ourselves, arrived in about a week. Carby seems fine now

    Thats the carb it should have and it should have it stamped on the side.
    However a lot have been fitted with Holden carbs. If it does not have 32PBI stamped on it post a photo and someone will identify it.

    Don't know anyone local to you. If you come to Glenreagh on the weekend there probably will be some carbys there, mines not going this year.

    It does seem to have most things, but I agree the price seems a bit steep.

    One of the things to check on yours, is if the throttle spindle bushes are worn; if so, that needs seeing to first in the rebuild. If the throttle spindle has no wear then you probably don't need this kit, unless cheaper ones don't have other important parts such as the diaphragms.

    You may also need an emulsion tube and appropriate jets, but that can only be determined by driving the machine and seeing how it performs,

    Cheers Charlie
