Topic: Good source for CB550 022A carb bowl orings

[reddyvv]

I've been quite frustrated with my carb bowl orings swelling and seen many other threads trying all sorts of solutions to get the orings to fit. I found one post mentioning theoringstore.com but it was confusing as to which orings to order.

Well I took my best guess and these orings fit just perfectly!!! So order yourself a bunch and save yourself a lot of head banging. 

2mm X 68mm Metric Buna-N 70 O-ring (N2.00X068) - $0.52 each!!

I bought a set of these preformed ones off of ebay:

A bit expensive for o-rings but they are less hassle putting them in.

I bought two sets of the pre-formed gaskets and all eight were too small and in actuality were more of a pain in the butt to try to fit than the standard O-ring! If you got them to work, more power to you; I gave up on them and tossed the lot - a couple of dabs of superglue helped hold the original o-rings in place and they work perfectly.

I'm not familiar with these sets but I don't rule out they may fit after being in gasoline.

They are easily stretched. You can't go back the other way though.

I bought a 5 foot length of the o ring stock. Just cut it flush to the length you need, then use super glue to tack.

 Me, too. Worth it to not have to futz with the O-rings. I think I did stretch them ever so slightly, just by pulling on them a tiny bit. Worth every penny, to me.
