Lot's of shops around the country can put an above average kit together for you. I used Cliff's High Performance in Ohio. A little more than parts store kits but he has a great reputation. Yes, I have purchased from him and I am a happy customer; also had a CCC carb rebuilt by him for a stock application. Couldn't be happier.

X2 with Cliff. Or send him the whole carb. There is a few tweaks internally suggested for todays gas above and beyond just the pump cup & float materials. If you are a staunch DIY'er call him for this info when you order the kit. Have any engine trans & gearing upgrade info if it applies.

I just bought the kit from Cliff as well. Great guy to deal with. I probably paid a little more but a lot of advice came with the kit as well as the invitation to call if I had any other questions. I bought his book used off ebay for $3.99 delivered too (not from him).

I just bought a NAPA kit last month, and it had the blue-colored accel. pump skirt that usually means it's compatible with alcohol fuels.
NAPA will get you about $30 for a kit and a float, Cliff about $40 plus shipping, but Cliff can definitely give you good guidance and specialized parts if that's what you need, and that's worth a few extra bucks.

If I was in the market for a carb rebuild kit (and I was a few years back) Iwould go with Daytona Parts Co. (which I did). They have what you want/need.

I didn't know you had to worry about ethanol compatability when rebuiding a carburetor. I would think all of the kits you bought at the auto parts store would have ethanol safe parts in them as Eric said. Last time I rebuilt a Qjet I bought one at the local parts store and it worked fine.
