Need rubber O ring
 

On my Cub, the TT.61RFS is leaking fuel from the high speed needle. The only thing I can think of is it's the rubber o ring. Any place I could get one other than ordering directly from the mfg?

thanks,,

You might have luck at a local hardware or home depot. I'm not sure if their o rings will be fuel resistant, some might.

A little trick I've used before is to cut a small piece of fuel tubing and slide it over the needle valve so it covers the threaded section completly. Might work for awhile until you can get an o ring. ENJOY !!! RED

If you know the size you want, then go to:

and type in o-ring. You're sure to find it there.

Part number 12845 as shown in the part list.

Where to find it I don't know.

I`m pretty sure the size you need is a 3mm outside diameter with a 2mm inside. I have a Magnum .52 4c thats giving me the same problem . The HS and LS needle uses the same o-ring.

Bruce is right , that is the part #

I have cut o-rings down and used super glue to splice the ends . Never tried it on one so small , think I`ll give it a shot .

I'm thinking teflon tape might help as well?? Maybe?

RE: Need rubber O ring
 

I have used teflon tape on a couple of SuperTigres and it worked well, but I can move the HS from side to side , and not sure whats up. Going to tear it down and see whats going on.

Try going to a transmission repair shop that does foriegn cars. I have gotten some pretty small metric O rings from them in the past and they will usely just give you a couple when you show them what you are useing them for.
