    There is supposed to be an oring, washer, spring and screw.
    I think someone here has the orings, and I have replacement stainless steel washers.
    If you want the washers, PM me with your email and I'll send you a set of 4.

    It would be no trouble for me. They would fit in a plain envelope. Not sure of the cost to send a letter to Australia but it couldn't be that much.

    The washer sits on top of the oring. So when you look down into the mixture screw seat yu may see what appears to be the bottom of the seat. Insert a thin drywall screw into the seat and give it gentle turn. Then lift out the washer and screw. Care MUST be taken here to not turn the screw too much or to push it won into the seat. Damage to the seat is unrepairable. I have sent out all my orings but they can be found at Mcmaster Carr. Part# 9262K101

    BlueMaxim , thanks , i just went and checked again AAAAAND yep they there , it sure did look like the bottom of the seat , i had a small screwdriver in there gently just to check previously.

    The washers were harder in than i would have imagined ,so no drama now , thanks all....

    Good! I had that happen to me and was pretty dumb founded trying to figure out how the carbs worked without them. ;) mcmaster.com may even have the springs you need. Will just take some looking.
