Is there any source to order carb o-rings for the adjusters besides just getting a whole new carb rebuild kit? _________________ -74 Standard - "CaliBug" 2084T, MS3X w/FI and Crank Fire

any good auto/tractor parts place should have an assortment of o rings even hardware stores. _________________ Rick

I have an assortment of o-rings, and i have a couple that fit, but they are too fat, or something. The ones that come in the kits are much more flat. _________________ -74 Standard - "CaliBug" 2084T, MS3X w/FI and Crank Fire

My local flaps has an assortment to choose from in all different sizes but just a suggestion to try and solve your problem. _________________ Rick

Yeah, I got you. The problem I'm having is that the o-rings that i use are getting bound up and end up ripping. I sprayed it with silicone to try and help feed it, but it just gets bound up and rip. _________________ -74 Standard - "CaliBug" 2084T, MS3X w/FI and Crank Fire

I put a dab of grease on them before installing them back in the carb so they don't rip like that. _________________ Rick
