Default Thunder Tiger 46 Pro Carb Question

I have a new Thunder Tiger 46 Pro. When installing the carb does the o-ring show or am i required to push on the carb to force the o-ring into the barrel to get a proper seal?
Best Regards,
Eddie.b

on mine the o ring stays on the carb barrel - its a good powerful engine by the way. mine's seen a lot of use, a spare carb, or 2, and has been re-designed, by the ground a bit!!

Yes, the o-ring will be visible after correctly mounting your carb. Simply line up the carb, press down to squish the o-ring a little (just enough to get a good seal), then tighten the draw bar nut. Don't tighten it too hard, it doesn't need to be torqued really hard, and you don't want to strip the threads or distort the carb throat.
