Harbor freight has every size of oring you will need.

I checked out one of those cheap kits but seem to remember that some specific sizes I needed for a 750 engine were not in the kit. Found a good seller on E-bay and ordered the specific sizes I needed for the engine and carbs. That kit is handy though to have around the shop I'm sure.

This was my point at the beginning of this thread.  Rather than trying to "match up" a particular part, just get the proper part in the first place.
You'll save yourself time, money and frustration....

i agree, get the right part.  part of this post was also trying to figure out what i needed.  still trying to eliminate any vacuum leaks in the airbox/carb set up.  i was lucky enough to find the correct o-rings at a local auto parts store that go on the ridged tubes between carbs 1&2 and 3&4.  i mean perfect fit, correct size, worked like a dream for only a few bucks.

 I am sure you have sprayed carb or brake cleaner at the carb joints like the manifolds to see if there is a change while running ? On most of my 750's I change out the old crappy clamps on the manifolds. The combination of the old hard shrunk rubber and the crappy old stretched a little stock clamps with their built in stops don't do it for me.

I have learned my lesson on orings that almost fit. If I have the actual size called for in my kit that's great, but I nearly never do.

have the beefy clamps on the carb boots.  sprayed and no leaks there.  old clamps on airbox side.  sprayed and found leaks there.  waiting to get some dough together for an order.  new airbox boot clamps, new jets as i believe mine are wrong size, need to clean and bench sync carbs again, new carb boots, new advance springs.

Did you actually get the spigots OFF in the first place?

I have been running all HF orings in my daily ridden bike for 5 years. Works perfect and only cost me about $7 and no leaks to date.
