Homelite 26b bad carburetor... repair kit needed

My Homelite 26b model UT09526 carb. went bad after 2 years.  The carb. is part number 308054114.  THis part number is superceded by part number 308054075.
I found a replacement carb on Jack's as well as Ebay.  Both the same price.   The carb fixed my blower in just a few minutes.
Does anyone know of a carb. repair kit for these part numbers.?? 
My blower was always drained of fuel each year and stored properly.  I feel the ethanol in gasoline had much to do with the carb. failure on this machine. IU was told that STABIL gas stabilizer does not work as well as a product called STARTRON so I am buying this new product to use with my new carb.

A quality two stroke such as Stihl, Echo, Husqvarna mix oil will contain stabilizer so there is no need to add Startron. The key here is to use fresh premium gas to minimize the ethanol.
There are no service parts for the carburetor, the replacement is so cheap it is simply not worth repairing.

Thank you Roy!
yeah, I kinda' figured searching for a kit was a dead end road.  That's why I bought the new carb. The only reason I was interested is that I am retired and have a lot of time and a small bankroll.
Thanks for the idea about the ethyl gas.  I will use it exclusively in my 2 strokes now.
Happy camper and good running leaf blower now.

It really boils down to how much your going to use it. If you rarely use it then consider still moto mix, husqvarna also has one as well don’t recall the name offhand. Now if your using it a lot then a good synthetic oil mixed with non ethanol if possible. Jmho
