What happens when you lose that little tiny O-ring?

    So I just rebuilt my carb and didnt realize when i pulled out the fuel metering screw that there was a little O-ring down in there beneath the little spring... Well somewhere in the process, 2 of the carb's O rings went AWOL.

    Does anyone know where those can be obtained? I can't seem to find it on the carb schematic that all the parts websites use. Any ideas?

    Chacal (len) should have them. Or you should be able to take one out and go to a parts store and match them up. Make sure to get the fuel resistant ones.

    PM chacal your year/model number and do your best to describe the parts you need.

    make sure they are not still in there, they can be impossible to see & difficult to get out, I use a very thin wire with a right angle bend on the end, just a 1/16th ". go fishing.

    Well after some scrounging around I actually found them both! Carb is back together now and I'm going for a bench sync.

    Thanks for the help guys
