    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Where can I get viton o-rings for carb rebuild

Got the o-rings today. The 3.0mm ID, width 1.5 mm worked fine on the air screw. The 3.5mm ID, width 1.5 mm were too narrow in width for the drain screw, although the ID was correct. Now that I have new o-rings, I figured out how to measure them with my caliper, and I determined that I need 3.5 ID and width of 1.8 mm. McMaster-Carr does not list that size, so I sent them a request via email. Where else can I look?
 
What's the problem with the drain screw O-rings? Is the OD too small thus the need for a thicker O-ring?

BTW, a -007 O-ring has an ID of 3.68mm and width of 1.78mm

Don't forget to check the dash number sizes as well.

Yes. Of course, since they are related, you could say the diameter is too thin so the OD is too small... ;)
I've looked at American sizes, a -007 looks close. Robert Barr suggested that I also try a -006.
Edit - the -006 is too small. I just triple checked the screw, it measures 4.10mm, so that still gives me a bit of stretch. Sigh.

Why not -007?
 
Order placed for -007s. They should be fine. I had looked at them earlier and asked him if he had them in stock, but he did not.
Not sure why he suggested the -006s.
