update on cub carb issues

I have a 66 IH cub, but the oem IH carb was changed out to a cub 184/185 zenith carb.

A search of many sites yeilded no info. I tried carquest.. to no avail.. and then napa.. napa was able to look it up via application, and came u[p with an echlin kit 2-1565
That kit is a 'fit all' for 61, 62, 67, 68, 161, 267, 63, 63m, and 263m series zenith carbs.

A look in my manual identifies my carb as a 68YY7, though strangely enough, napa couldn't cross that carb number over to the kit.. that obviously includes the '68' series.. but instead looked it up via application.. either way I'm happy..

I'll let you know how the quality is.. Though.. as an echlin kit.. I'm hoping for better than tisco..

For 18 bucks this seems like a great value. It comes with about 5 different 'halves' gaskets to meet all those series needs.. while it looks like the jet and needles are all the same., and only has one each.

I think I'm going to scan a template of the carb half gasket, so if I need another, I can just drop it onto some correct thickness gasket paper, as the brass parts should be durable but the gasket will probably die every time I pop it open.. etc.

My local napa said they had to order that kit.. but then low and behold said they had one on t he shelf.. so i lucked out big time.. and as I see.. it was a great price too.

( I can already tell that the paper gasket in the kit for this zenith looks better than the cork composition gasket I've seen in the TSC kit for the IH make carb. )
