    DID THE BRASS NEEDLE SEAT FIT?

    The kit I ordered had some bad treads on the needle seat.  I ran a tap over it and it works OK.   Something for you to check.  OMC kits may come from china also.

    Same here. I purchased a set for my Fastwin 18 and the seat didn’t fit. I tapped new threads on the brass seat (not the carb).
    Purchased another setfor my QD19 which fitted perfectly. Now today I overhauled my AD10 carb, and again the seat didn’t fit.

    Apparently they either apply different threads, or have different factories producing these kits.
