    This will be my second try at rebuilding the carbs. I had bought a kit that was labeled for my bike online, but not all the parts were compatible, the bike runs but it doesn't run great, so i am wondering what carb rebuild kits others have had success with?
    It is also a Hitachi carburetor

    Anything brass needs to be OEM. OEM is also the best for the o-rings, gaskets and needle seats, BUT I’ve also had good luck with Keyster and K&L.

    Absolutely anything else will be a waste of time.
