    New Carb or Rebuild Original Carb

    My recently purchased 1980 Honda ATC 110 needs some carb work done to it. Looks like a rebuild kit is about $15 and a new carb is $30. Is there a good reason to rebuild the existing instead of just paying the extra $15 for a complete new one?
    Thanks! Brock

    What is a good source for the "non Chinese" carb rebuild kits? Is there a certain brand name that I should get?
