Honda EU2000i carburetor rebuild kit

[dryfly]

I'm going to be making a trip to Yellowstone in the near future so I will need to be replacing the main jet in my EU2000i to one that will function in high altitude.

This will provide me with the opportunity to do a carb overhaul, even though my generator has less than 100 hours on it. Like most small engines, I assumed I could find a rebuild kit for the carb but so far no luck. Parts are available, but no complete kit.

Assuming all existing parts are in good shape, what needs to be replaced? One video I watched stated the large O ring type gasket between the float chamber and carb body, as well as the float valve seat need to be replaced anytime an overhaul is done. Is this usually true?

I'm seeing complete 3rd party carburetors on Amazon for $35 so maybe rebuild kits are obsolete. One of these with the high altitude jet, and the original carb with the standard jet would sure make altitude changing a lot easier.

Not sure why you would need an overhaul at just 100 hours. Does it need it?

Please see OP. I have to tear it down to replace jet anyway.

I've seen sticky thread. Not looking for "how to do it". Looking for parts info, if needed.
