I actually bought my Holley re-build kit from rex marine. Get the numbers off the carb and go to Holley's website and you can get the holley kit number for the carb you have. They where a little cheaper than skidim. I think I spent around 45 bucks for the kit. Don't use anything otherthan a holley kit

I would say no there are no advatages to rebuilding a carb when everything is working proberly. Usually the needle and seat wear out or the float goes bad or the diaphrams get a hole in them. Usually when the engine isn't running correctly and it is directly related to fuel delivery problem then that's when you need to re-build i.e. surge at idle, back firing, poor top-end performance, hard starting, mis-fire on take off, rough idle. you also need to keep in mind that some of these can be cause by other components as well or you can fix some carb problems without a total re-build i.e. power valve is blown, replacing the diaphram on the accellerator pump, choke stat come to mind.
