thank you Jack.
i can confirm that his kit did contain a set of jets. but did
not contain a needle.
 
so basically a rebuild kid is a new diaphragm, screws
and gaskets? just being a ass here on this comment :-)
 
 thanks
Frank

I have never seen a ZS rebuild kit
that came with jets or needles - it would be unusual to need needles, and even
more unusual to need jets. the jets on a 73 have to be pressed out.

yes, that is normal. to get the
needle out, first you will need to screw the adjusting screw all the way out
of the needle carrier (from above with a ZS adjustment tool) - then remove
that grub screw and pull the needle out.
