I am pleased with McDonald Carb parts and service. You can do a search to find more info. I believe the website is mcdonaldcarb.com

Only problem with the tractor supply kit is it has the WRONG needle!

I got the Steiner "deluxe" kit, which has the right needle, all the packing, new shafts, etc. for my most recent rebuild. Only problem is the bowl gasket shrunk when I took the carb apart to troubleshoot a leaking problem. The cork gaskets from the TSC kits don't do that.

I second the McDonald kit recommendation. The float valve is rubber tipped, I replace it with a CaseIH one, from TM

Looking at McDonald and Steiner kits. I'd heard about the Tisco kits and planned to avoid them.

Thanks, guys.
