Whatever kit you buy make sure they are VITON rubber otherwise it's a waste of time with the ethanol fuel we have.
There's one or two sellers on Ebay that do Viton O' ring kits for bike carbs so check there first.

Agree with zed1015 about using viton, especially for the float valve seat. I used original kawasaki ones a few years ago, cost a fortune, and they started to overflow in 1 and 2 recently. Replaced them with viton ones from simplybearings, which solved the problem and look forward to many years using E5. I think they were 1.5mm section 7mm bore - £4.72 for 10pc
