Air screw, O ring?
« on: January 13, 2020, 08:05:26 AM »
76 CB550k, 087A carbs. In the carb rebuild kit I purchased, there is one very small o ring, not sure where it goes. The air screws don't call for O rings do they? The ones that came out just had springs. thanks

The smallest O ring is normally the main jet one
