When looking for something else, I found my missing complete carb kit for a Carter AS carb, which I have several available for repair. When I obtained the full kit, I received a quick kit that I used to have another AS carb repaired but while the repaired (not by me) carb works great at idle, you need to constantly feather the gas to get the Lark moving.
So how can I learn if the full kit is any good? The gaskets look good through the bag and since I have not opened the bag I have not examined the accelerator pump. I found you can still get NAPA kits for Carter AS carbs, AMC used the AS until the mid to late 1960s so fresher parts may be available to mix and match.

ps. I started my Lark for the first time this year, dropped in the battery, cranked the engine, then sprayed some starter fluid, turned the key and the Lark started right up.
