Hi all, has anyone any idea as to where i can get a full set of o rings for the carbs on my gk73a 1989.
Its been stood for a coupe of years and i have stripped the carbs down and in process of cleaning them out at the min.
Is there any where for example i can buy a set or do i have to buy them seperately?
Have looked on ebay etc but thought maybe someone on here my be able to help.
I am new to the forum and cant believe how helpful it is by just reading posts and i see carbs are common probs so hopefu;;y somebody can point me in the right direction. :lol:

i had the same trouble, so i bought a meter of the same diameter fuel resistant stuff. made all the o-rings myself and worked a treat, only problem is though making the small ones was very tricky! and all it cost was 7 quid in total.

Not a real saving over the set i sell, they are only £11 posted and of the correct size.
The o'rings are different thicknesses as well as diameters so you cannot make all of them from one piece of lace.
