Thank you...will they prevent the carbs from working properly? What exactly is they're function?

Well the O ring might hold them in,but not worth it,get some new or used ones,used would be just fine.

Their function is to hold the main jet in place.  If/when the main jet falls out then the carb will no longer work properly. 

A good and relatively inexpensive way to get lots of spare parts for your carbs is to buy an ugly, dirty set of carbs off ebay.  Then you can use whatever parts you need as you need them and clean the parts up as you go.

Thank you, that's what I'm planning on doing if I need to. I was kind of hoping that was the case with someone else (possibly here). This bike requires a lot of work and I'd rather put the money else where if I can. But I gota do whatever to get the bike on the road!
