    Where to get small o ring?

    Anyone know where I can get suitable o rings for the pilot screws on your carb. I tried bay engineers supplies and they had nothing that small. I'm not keen to order in a genuine one on back order and wait a month either.

    Para rubber used to carry o rings, Don't know if they still do or if they would have anything that small.

    What sort of diameter?

    Super cheap autos do a box of O-rings for around $8. In the socket set section somewhere, in the UH shop anyway.
    Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

    You want a small 'o' ring?
    It has to be said,

    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    Slopster I may have one that may be suitable. You can pop around and grab it if you like?

    No luck sorry. Have you pulled the sink drain U tube off to see if they aren't in it?

    You will need it made of some material resistant to petrol, or it will melt and mush it's way through your carb.
    Viton is the material of choice, and the last ones I brought cost about $8 each.
    At the rise of the hand by Policeman, stop rapidly. Do not pass him by or otherwise disrespect him.

    Cg is right, you can get them made out of different material, got my last ones from pacific seals, cost me about 80c they will be able to tell you what material the "o" ring should be made of, same with brake fluid and any chemical,
    In thrust we trust
