    only took me 45 minutes to get the mixture screws out---this is why the washer goes between the spring and the o-ring......, lol

    Well, it was after I got the first one out, and got the o-ring out of the screw, that I thought "I better take a pic of the next one if it's like this--- so I waited till I was all done......so you get to see three of them----

    The mixture screw o-rings that were in my carbs were larger than the ones I got from you in your rebuild kit too. I think someone had already done the carbs before I got the bike and maybe bought a cheap kit from ebay. I guess the cheap kits have bigger o-rings.

    Harbor Freight carries a HUGE "cheapy" kit of various sizes... beware the o-rings from China!

    If someone gets carb cleaner in there without taking the o-rings out, they can swell up and stay swelled up for a long time.
