More on Zenith Carb Rebuild Kit

See my post of yesterday, below.
I did some more checking.
NAPA and Car Quest have a kit identical to each other, with gaskets and stuff for several carbs. But the kits DO have the proper brass retainer for the felt packing for the throttle shaft. They also have the PROPER seat and needle for the gas inflow. Remember, I told you the TISCO kit was s---.
Each of these kits are in the 30 to 35 buck range. I am getting a kit from O'Reily's that is only 13 bucks and may have only what I need. Mind you, the 30-35 buck and the 13 buck kits have NO throttle shaft and NO choke shaft.
I guess this is the kind of thing that we have to contend with when we have old equipment. But I am disappointed that the TISCO kit has the WRONG parts for what they clearly label as for a 9752 Zenith Carb for a Farmall A. I also, on principle don't think that Yesterday's Tractors should charge me a 20 percent restocking fee when I send the kit back to them.

They not only should not charge a restocking fee, they should pay the shipping when you return a defective product.
 
These aftermarket kits are misleading and always have been. IF you want the correct part then you go to the dealer and pay the big bucks . As there are rebuild kits then there are the MASTER rebuild kits . But now today we have the one size that should fit all and it does not. IF i am to rebuild a carb first i see what i need and you can or could get just what ya need Ya need a bowl gskt a needle and seat a packing gland and a carb to manifold . Not if it is plum slap wore out then ya need bushings and a throttle shaft and here again if ya want OEM parts then go to the place that sells that part. Everybody wants it cheap and now . Today that just ain't ah going to happen ya get what ya pay for .
 
I got a carb rebuild kit from O'Rielly's last summer for the Zenith carb on my 666. It was a "universal" kit for Zenith that had a LOT of extra parts and the needle was somewhat different, but it worked. I ended up not using all of the new parts that were included in the kit and just cleaned up the old. I chalked it up to experience and decided next time, I'll go down to the IH dealership and buy the kit like Tractor Vet is suggesting.
