As far as I know, they don't carry small engine parts(if any at all). Just the car parts. You might have to go to the manufacture for the engine parts. Or better yet, try a hardware store. I bought a huge o-ring set from Harbor Freights and they have worked for me.
I am needing exhaust gaskets for my Redcat .5cc on-road car and nobody carries the gaskets. Just the manifolds. So I know what you mean. I am having to make my own gaskets.

Those worked for me,But put in O-rings in their search engine and about 5-6 come up-I bought them all,they are less then a dollar to a few bucks a piece
No parts supplier carries parts for the carbs,lucky Tower Hobbies does for only a very few engines

I could use a raft anchor!
I found another good place for o-rings, FASTENAL. They can get any size diameter & thickness o-ring that you can think of. I have one of their big books, I'll look and see what the smallest is.
