Woodslasher The Tillotson RK-88HL is the kit you need for a HL87D and the HL63's.
Keep a heads up when removing the bottom strainer cover that has the gas nipple and single screw. Try to remove it carefully because some kits do not have the correct size cork gasket for the strainer cover. You will have to re-use your cork gasket or make one of the proper size. The kit cork one is close but no fit sometimes. The old cork gasket will usually re-seal if not broken when lifting the strainer cover.
What I was indicating about the HL87D is they normally DO NOT have a CHOKE BUTTERFLY in the carb. The mac's that used the 87 had the plastic choke butterfly in the air box.
Here is a $9 kit on flea bay. The cork gasket that I'm referring to is in the upper right corner of the pic.
Also keep a heads up on the pump diaphragm, the little button that hooks onto the needle lever is wrong sometimes. Inspect all carefully and sometimes the $24 kits will also be not quite right.

If you have any carb issue's (we can help you but) you would be better off starting a new thread instead of posting in this old thread. I just happened to be still subbed is why I seen this 2 year old thread post.
