Is there any source to order carb o-rings for the adjusters besides just getting a whole new carb rebuild kit?

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.

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

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.

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