As mentioned above, look around for a local rebuilder and check prices. Probably in the $100-120 range. You also could call your local marina's, and if they are nice, they may tell you who they use for their carb work.

It comes with instructions that are very easy to follow.

You can also get the kits from www.boatfix.com-just got two last month. I think they were around 27 bucks each.

The kits come with a "universal instruction sheet" that once you circle the sections that pertain to your carb it's a no brainer.
Really.
And as long as you keep all of your parts in coherent piles (what came out of it VS what came with the kit) then if you give up it is still easy for somebody to come behind you and do it.

Insptech, are the ones you rebuilt webers and do you remember what the kit part numbers were? I'm ready to rebuild it but the kits I found specific to my weber are $85 and up.
Thanks to everyone for all the info.!
