Default Walbro W1429A rebuild kit?

I am looking for a rebuild kit for a Walbro W1429A. This is from a 45cc Venom Copperhead engine, the manufatcurer does not exist anymore and I can not find much on the net.
Since I have not much experience with these engines, I want to make sure I got all teh parts before tearing this apart.

Just a quick question. Why are you taking the carb apart?

I had one cover off, and the diaphragm looked worn and the engine would not start. I tried a different carb and it runs fine with that.
Since I don't know much about the engine's history, I believe it has been sitting for some time, changing the gaskets would be an inexpensive fix.

OK, that make sense, you've isolated it to the carb.
Go to any lawnmower shop they would have a rebuild kit. I'd also get a can of spray carb cleaner and spray all the little passages and screen.

The WT-429 is a common size at 13.49mm.

There are a lot of Walbro carbs that are that size.
