02 Viper Er 700 Fuel Screw Rubber o-ring

i was just cleaning my last carb and noticed that the fuel screw rubber gasket was missing on the fuel screw, do i really need it? if so, does anyone have an extra rubber gasket i could buy or the whole fuel screw assembly with the rubber gasket, please let me know, thanks

Yeah, i knew it, the other 2 were set to 1 7/8 back turn from snug and this was way off, this was my first time doing the cleaning myself, all the other years the dealer did it, the screw were all stripped on the bowls nightmare to take off, glad i decided to do it myself
 
yes, you need the O-ring and the small washer.

One year, I didn't notice that the o-ring fell out of the carbs, and I couldn't figure out for why in the Heck it was running so rich.
 
the o-rings almost caught me as well. The write ups don't mention to watch for the o-rings. I didn't even know they were there untill one fell out when i was blowing cleaner in there.
 
i couldn't understand for years when my son's viper was running so crappy, every year i had the dealer clean the carb's, they lost the o-ring, i just happen to try this year and do it myself, following MR. Viper's carb cleaning post, glad i did. i'll have to order the part the hardware store didn't have that small of o-ring, anyone know where else to look?

You will never go wrong with help from this site! Everyone here has been through it all!
 
Just did the same thing to my 02 viper and i new better just forgot. The dealer had both the washers and o rings in stock. Like $2 bucks a piece. I bet i wont forget again!!!!!!!!.

Make sure the o-ring isn't still in the hole that the screw came out of. Sometimes it's on the end of the screw and sometimes it stays in the hole.

already checked, i knew something was wrong when i un-screwed it and everything came apart, the other two were fine, the dealer should have checked, but now i'll be doing the carb cleaning
