Default CV Rebuild Kit

I am looking for a decent with float rebuild kit for my 1994 XLH883 CV carb. The search function is not working for me for some reason I am having problems with the float and will probably have to break it down. If I can get the 4th screw out of course the head is screwed up I will probably just rebuild the carb. Any Help is appreciated since I have no idea on how to do this. I wish I knew someone in the St Louis mo are that could help me out.
TIA
Barry In MO.

The screws on most carbs are soft for a reason, so that the screw not the carb body gets ruined. They are metric and small allen headed ones can be purchased at Lowe's. To remove stubborn ones use a small pair of vice grips to break them loose.
Rebuild kits do not come with a float. The have all the gaskets, o-rings, needle and accelerator pump diaphragm. If this is the first time you have taken a CV carb apart, lay the parts out on a clean, lint free cloth or newspaper. That way when it comes time to assemble you will have an easier time doing it.

Thanks for the info I have a buddy that is doing the work on it. He has a shop working on small engines and I got a kit and he is going to do the work. It will be a lot cheaper then a motorcycle shop.
I like your signature that is so true.
