Honda bf2 outboard rebuild help & which carb to order

[GHA]

Trying to get a few more years/weeks out of an elderly very tired bf2, carb bolts rusted solid, then carb bowl just fell off getting the bolts released!

New carb time, don't think it's worth the cost of a genuine carb, lots of these on ebay though - would one of these work OK?
FOR HONDA BF2 2HP 4STROKE OUTBOARD BOAT ENGINE CARBURETOR CARB 16100-ZW6-716 NEW | eBay
(Edit - just seen Steve66 has rebuilds listed for sale, more expensive but maybe better option?)
Also any rebuild links would be handy as well, not much came up on a search , be nice to know how many more corroded bolts will be found...

And with a rebuild - how far would you go?

TIA

The ones I tried ( 3 different Chinese suppliers) were poor, Idling was irratic in all of them despite adjustment and swapping jets. I would possibly have imported a good few but unfortunately didnt cut the mustard. Incidentally other clone Chinese carbs for different manufacturers are decent
