Are the carb rebuild kits OK off Ebay or shallI go somewhere else?
If so, Then do you have a good recommendation?

most seem to be same seller and same kit even thru different sellers,
The carbs on the bike I just bought do the following,
#1 no gas to engine
#2,3+4 atomize fuel well,
#3, Needle valve stuck open.

So I will pull, Soak and clean the set and want a basic rebuild kit,
Thanks folks !

The first link in your post is light on information.
The second link indicates "MADE IN JAPAN for Honda",
implies that these are genuine Honda brand, but I think it really means "made in Japan to
fit Honda models listed". "Made in Japan" are typically better components than their Asian counterparts. Aftermarket brass parts rarely work right and you are usually better off with the original brass parts after a proper cleaning. As for the rubber bits, they either need to be
genuine Honda parts, or be made of Viton at the very least. I used a cheap set of non-Viton carb kits from e-blow that had the rubber bits swollen, leaking, and self destructing within one week of exposure to fuel laced with 10% ethanol. Aftermarket kits can work, just use the original brass and make certain the rubber bits are ethanol resistant Viton rubber. Check 4-into-1 for kits that use Viton rubber.
