Tooks carbs off 2001 SRX for a cleaning.Upon dis-assembly,found one of the O'rings on the fuel adjuster screw was cracked in half.Called the local dealers,none have the O'ring.Checked at local hardware stores,non have anything close.Would like to ride this weekend,anyone have any ideas.
Thanks in advance,Bob
 
Maybe a local auto parts store or garage would have the orings. At all the shops I used to work in we always and a large assortment of orings. I know our local hardware store only has plumbing orings which are waaay to big.
Hope you find some. ;)!
 
I could send you one but that would take a week or two from up north!

Run it without, just make sure the washer is there. According to Yamaha and Mikuni the o-ring is mainly to keep the washer and spring in place during assembly and insure against the screw backing out. The brass threads will seal the air out for the most part.

Put them back in whenever you can get them.
