Re: 88 YJ Carter Carb
A kit for that carb runs about $25.00 and is easy to put in. The modern
fuels also seem to leave junk that gums up the float needle's slide path
easy so I usually do a couple cleans to each kit I buy.
It can be carefully removed from the outside and cleaned.

Re: 88 YJ Carter Carb
I just get one at any local auto parts store. They all carry it around
here or can order it in quick. Canadian Tire carries them.
The directions are good.
When I open them for a clean, I don't 'unadjust' anything I don't have
to to open them up. If it was running alright, then there is no need to
mess with things like the vacuum piston or the settings on the idle mix,
etc... A good spray with carb cleaner works.
Things like the float level should be checked carefully and the idle
pickup tubes need to be really cleaned well. Also get the chunk of gas
line from the filter to the carb with cleaner. It has a loop that holds
junk.
Make sure the gas filter gets back in right side up. The center outlet
goes to the carb, the top one goes to the return line.
