I know you can get the parts individually OEM but as far as an aftermarket kit I haven't seen one.

that doesn't sound strange to anyone? well my float is sticking causing gas to pour out but i'm unsure of what exactly i should replace? just the float needle?

i would take it apart and clean the heck out of it first. tap the float a few times and see where it is sticking at.

Why did you buy from them if they charge so much. You could of ordered it and probably saved money even with shipping if you can stand to wait a couple days. Anytime I hear outrageous prices like that, I usually give the dealer a few price quotes from other comparable dealers, that will usually deflate their prices.
