Review on High Performance Carburetor Rebuild Kit with Brass Floats for Edelbrock 1477, 1400, 1404, 1405, 1406, 1407, 1411, 1409 by Cornelius Reeves

I've rebuilt a few dozen Cater/Edelbrock AFB carburetors over the years and when my son's carburetor needed a rebuild this kit seemed spot on. I was fooled by the $25 price tag and brass floats with local kits costing $50.50. None of the parts have been used. Serious modifications would be required to use the top seal, the accelerator pump piston didn't even touch the cylinder walls, the floats were so large that if they were used there would be no fuel left to start the engine, the float seats wouldn't even fit in the screw body. The most useful part of this kit is the box it comes in. And yes, the seller stated that this kit would fit my model number 1406 carburetor. FYI, the only difference on a modern AFB carburetor, apart from the part numbers, is whether it has a manual or electric choke and what type of metering rods and jets, all other parts are interchangeable between model numbers. Since the kit looks like it should fit, I can only imagine that when they switched from SAE to metric they messed up the measurements for production.
