  • idle mixture o-rings

    Has anyone had luck finding idle mixture o-rings at NAPA or a good hardware store. Hate to buy a kit and shipping cost when all I need is o-rings.

    You might be able to get the right size in the full set from HF, but you can get the o-rings washers and springs pretty cheap from MikesXS, IIRC they come in pairs, so you need two pairs, and you generally should replace the springs as well, they get weak over time.

      Last I heard, the viton o-ring kit from Harbor freight has 10 of the right size in it. If you have a HF close to you, it would save you on shipping.
