idle screw rubber o rings

BTW - Not sure this is the right section

Does anyone know where I can purchase replacement rubber O rings, that are on the ends of the idle mixture screw (R1 Carbs)?

I've seen sites in the US selling the complete Idle screw assembly for c.£15 per carb + shipping + duty. Also seen the carb refurb kit on ebay, again c. £15 including P&P per Carb.

All I need is the little rubber O rings (x4)

Thanks
Rob

if they are just o-rings, then measure them up and search for ones that size on google etc...

just make sure they are the fuel safe type !

Managed to get 10 for £1.90 plus P&P form ebay. Bargain

search for "3mm O Ring", or seller called "sealforce53" if you want the same
