O ring size

[mnferwerda]

I've put in an order for 2 carb o rings at my local Suzuki dealer several weeks ago and they have not come in yet. So I'm looking to see if I can get them someplace else (Amazon?) but I need to know the correct size. The Suzuki part#/description is: 09280-05004 O ring (D:1.9, ID:4.8). Does that mean diameter (thickness of ring): 1.9mm, inside diameter:4.8mm? Thanks!

You're right about the sizes, but you need to be sure your replacements are made from the correct material.

Try here maybe?

Although honestly, I'd just get the whole set from our bestest buddy, Robert Barr:

I love the 'metric o rings' which are 1.9mm [5/64"] X 4.8mm [3/16"] . It's like all these metric bicycle standards like 31.8mm seat post tubes - as if somebody would design a seat post to be 31.8 instead of 32mm . But 1 1/4" is - Bingo! - 31.8mm.

If you live in 'metric' Canada you soon learn that coffee comes in 454 gram quantities and plywood is 2440 X 4880mm . I don't care, but it is pretty humorous; as if converting the number from something straightforward to millimetres makes something metric.

I buy my o rings from a place that makes agricultural sprayers. I figure if it can stand up to that stuff it'll withstand whatever I'm doing.
