Default Marvel carberator rebuild kit

Hey guys, need help. I need a rebuild kit for a marvel carberator for my 30 model A. I have looked in parts catalogs but can't find one. Are they still being made and if so where?

I don't think you will buy a kit for the Marvel Carburetor but Renners Corner sells some parts:

Renners Corner has the kit and or the just the gasket set, RC-9490-AL is the kit number they have listed. Give them a call, they can get what you need. Great people to do business with.

Renner's Corner for the win. Great on the phone. Fast shipping. I feel like my carburetor needs to be on a stand under a glass case. It is too pretty to mount on the car! :-)

Recently I needed a shaft with a lever for my Zenith Model B carb, so I called and talked to Dave. He got it in the mail to me right away.

Don't buy the kit. Send your carb to Renner's. You'll be glad you did.

Shop around on the net: found the grose jet float valve $$$ (Renners) doesn't seal well; viton tip valve set fits from Steiners or other midwest tractor suppliers as stated; bowl and other small gaskets from Mike's Affordable; there are 2 idle mixture screws lengths also with different threads for varying Allstate or Marvel (same carb.) File or true up the carb mating surfaces as best you can , then set float height.
