Identifying seal 81 750

Those plugs are press fit into the body, but sometimes they fall out. When faced with a hopeless carb body that can't be repaired, I hack saw the body apart and extract the plug, because sooner or later someone here will need one (or maybe me). The donut seal must be Suzuki's (or Mikuni's) acknowledgement that this can happen. Or, leakage can occur.

Makes sense. Thanks Nessism

Great to know.
They are there to insure that the plugs do not fall out, and nothing gets past the plug if machined incorrectly be it the plug or the bore.

Knowing that eases my mind knowing just the correct sizeo-ring will do the job.

Thank you Nessism!

I may go the o-ring route.
Vitriol o-rings? For fuel resistance.

Yup. That’s the ticket

O-rings made of vitriol probably won’t get you very far. I believe what you want is Viton.
