Default O ring source?

Where can I get replacement O rings? The ones that goes between the carb & engine? The small ones that goes between main & secondary needles and carb body?

Thanks.

It would help to know which engine you are needing parts for. Most good auto parts stores have a selection of O-rings behind the counter. take the originals with you for sizing.

I got mine at Ace Hardware... a well-stocked one should have it... Also, the plumbing section of your local Lowe's or Home Depot might have something...

Just my $.02

I get them at a company that sells rubber products to industry... v-belts, tubing, rubber for gaskets, etc. They can even get silicone o rings for hi-temp applications.

If you can't get them anywhere else, head on line to www.mcmaster.com - McMaster-Carr. You can get just about any O-ring in any type of compound you need, though I think that good old Buna-N (aka neoprene) will suffice for our needs. Just type in 'O-Ring' in the Search box. You'll have to sift through some of their stuff... they have a lot of items. But, a well-stocked hardware store should have what you need. THe fit doesn't have to be precise.. just snug around the carb barrel (as opposed to too loose).

Just $.02 more
