Malcolm :

Moss P/N 370-795 is the rebuild kit for (2) AUC878 H6 carbs.  It includes 
needles and jets, sells for $80 (US).  If you want to replace the shafts 
and bushes, that will add $45 (US) for both carbs.

They also have P/N 698-010 which is just the gasket kit for one carb, for 
$9 (US), basically everything you need except the needle, jet and float 
valve.

IMO very little from the HS6 kit will fit an H6.  The float valve, and 
maybe a few of the gaskets, but you can buy a float valve and gasket kit 
from Moss for $15 (US).

BTW, with NAFTA, you should pay no duty on items shipped from the US, and I 
believe you'll find the shipping charges pretty minimal.

You can download a PDF of the Moss catalog from 
http://mossmotors.com/cataloglayout/pdfs/tri/TRI.html
which makes an excellent parts book, even if you don't buy from them. 
 Section C has both H6 and HS6 carbs, so you can compare part numbers to 
see which parts are the same between them.

I don't know what computer you are running, but there is a free PDF reader 
(Adobe Acrobat Reader) available for most modern computers at 
http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/readstep.html#reader
It's available for Linux, IRIX, Solaris, MAC, AIX, HP-UX, Digital UNIX and 
OS/2, as well as the inevitable WinDoze.  (There are probably others ...) 
 There's even one written in Java.
