Try http://www.mcmaster.com/. Search for "o ring" and you will get prompted for information on type, dash number (size), material, etc.
For glow use silicone, for gas use viton and for either, use neoprene.

Thanks for the reply!Went to the site and found them but looks complicated hoped to find something like they sell here with a kit of different sizes but looks like there are an awful lot of choices!There are sop many different ones on the carbs mainly thought would be nice to have them on hand but hard to tellwhich ones are needed but the price is lot better than Tower.Will keep the site and think about how to get some.Thanks much!

Our local hardware store carries all kinds of metric stuff. That's where I get all of my metric screws.
It's worth a try I guess.

Just remembered that your local auto parts store may also have them - just be aware of the material. Plumbing stores will probably have Buna-n which is not recommended for use with fuel. Auto parts stores may have a variety including viton.
If you go back to Mcmaster-Carr, I beleive they have a useful material chart and also a dash number chart to assist you in your selection.
