OK, I was just making sure before I rebuild the Carbs...

I had a question, how do you know when you need a rebuild kit vs a gasket kit for your Carbs?

Just some background on the motor, it has been sitting since summer of 05 from what the previous owner stated, Good Compression 120 PSI across the board, have spark to all spark plugs, just not getting any gas in (sprayed some gas into piston#1 and she fired up)..
Thanks,

Re: Rebuild Carb Kit vs Gasket Carb Kit

if it were me, i'd always do the carb kit. you've got it out and apart, why not go all the way. if it needs gaskets, you probably need parts too. when i woke up my old motor, it wouldn't start till primed, then after that it perked up and started on its own. no fuel getting to carbs, is a sign the fuel pump might be gummed up as well
