If you have a dremel with a felt wheel and a little jewelers rouge, you could polish that stub on the carb that the o-ring fits over and then lightly oil the o-ring. On a good note, it's good that the o-ring is tight - that means it won't leak fuel when the engine is running... BUT too tight and the needle valve is hard to adjust. It's a bit of a catch-22. A light polish and a drop of oil (remember - no petroleum oils) and you should be good to go. I wouldn't work it too much as it will get looser with time.
