  • Pilot screw o rings

    Someone here told me where to get some of those little tiny o rings that go on the idle mixture screws for the late carbs a while back but I don't remember where. I thought I saved that source but can't find it now.

    Can y'all help me out?

      Harbor Freight, there are tiny ones included in a plastic bag in the kit that work fine.

        Thanks. I think that's where I got them before.

            Sorry BA, you need the metric kit P/N 67609, it has the 3x1 mm o rings.

              I got the 397 piece and there was no plastic bag. I'll go look again and see if they have what you're talking about.

                    Thanks Phil. I went and got that assortment you suggested and it looks like those smallest ones will work fine.

                          OK dammit! I finally found the o rings and put them in a small plastic bag with the tiny washers in my tool box at work until I had a chance to install them. Well, I got a chance today and..............THEY ARE ALL GONE NOW!

                          I had them stashed in the corner of a drawer but I've torn my box apart and they are nowhere to be found. GRRRRRRRRRRRR

                          Where can I get a set of those tiny little washers?

                            I no longer have the Suzuki part number for the washers but I did post it somewhere on here a few yrs back. They are discontinued from Yamaha but Suzi dealers were still carrying them. Another possibility would be an electronics repair plce as they use a lot of smaller parts.
