Do not buy one of those one size fits all Chinese carburetors, they are junk.  The Chinese ones have a 26 mm throttle bore which is proper for a K-241 or K -301 but use a main jet that is intended to be used in the larger displacement engines. They will fit and they will run, but they will never run properly.

You would be doing yourself a favor by rebuilding your present carburetor. You can buy a can of GUNK and a kit for about the price of the Chinese piece of junk. Lots of great videos on the internet to guide you through.

Tell us a little about your engine and why the carb needs rebuilding. 
 

I’ve previous bought 3 Chinese carbs.  Better odds playing dice

1 idles but no full load

1 has full load but no idle

1 runs fair but not great

Its like the quality/repeatability of machining of all the little passages in the carbs isn’t there. 

Their now all in a junk box.
