Murray 42828X8B restoration project

I soaked the carb for over a week in transmission fluid and then did a little cleaning with carb spray and a tooth brush. I didnt spend alot of time on it though.
It definitely looks better. So now the question is do I just buy a rebuild kit and a new bowl, or a whole new carb? How can I tell? I dont want to buy a kit if I'm just going to end up buying a new carb, but the new/rebuilt ones I've seen online are around $80.
I rebuilt the carburetor on my Toro 20071, with a Tecumseh LV195XA and a series 11 carb, which was pretty easy, but I dont see how to remove the main jet on this one.



ALSO, if I do need to buy one, can I use this one? Tecumseh 640330A - Tecumseh Carburetor
The current one does not have the solenoid nor a connector to the solenoid, so I don't think this is right, but this place swears this is the replacement. You can clearly see in the pics that it is a Walbro LMK, and I believe the part number is LMK41 or Tecumseh # 640000. Any ideas where to find?

Thanks and Happy Halloween!

From what I see it doesn't look like the that is going to come out so you may have to go with a new or used, finding a used one is going to be hard. I guess if the people say it will fit then you have to take their word for it. I looked on ebay and they get $47 and change with free shipping for the same carb.
