I cleaned the carbs on my 2003 RX-1 yesterday and found the o-ring which seals the needle valve to the carb body were destroyed. This is the first time I have seen o-rings disentegrate so badly. When you clean your carbs, be sure to remove the brass needle valve body to clean the screens and CHECK the o-rings. For a replacement o-ring, you can use either viton or buna-N (nitrile) o-ring material. The size of the replacement o-ring is a 5/16" inside dia., 7/16" outside dia.. I bought 20 o-rings and will be replacing them every year.
I just took the carbs off my 2000 SRX, I see if they also deteriorated as well.

You should probably post this in the 4-Stroke forum.
Was in my carbs this weekend and my o-rings looked fine. Hope I don't get into that gas.
