special O-rings in Keihin PWK carbs

[sbleakle]

I have an otherwise good Keihin PWK but I screwed it up by soaking it and trashed the special o-rings between the body and the needle stack. I hear they aren't available so I had to get a new carb. Has anyone ever found a suitable replacement for these o-rings?

Thanks,
Steve

are the o rings kinda brown in color? I suppose they're just like the gasoline resistant o rings that ford uses on their fuel rails. You might try a ford dealer and see if they have the right size for ya.

Actually they are normal black o-rings but there is a special one that is two rings joined together. Looks kinds like a figure 8.
