Accelerator Pump O-ring
I have Randakk's carb kit, and just going to replace the accelerator pump and other parts, but I have an o-ring stapled to the package of the packaged pieces of the accelerator pump. I thought there was only one o-ring that goes with this right above the valve for the pump or is there supposed to be another one. I looked at the microfiche as well and I can only see one o-ring. Just a spare?

Looks like its spare, usually just the split pin on its own in that bag.

Yup, just a spare. Randakk let me know that it was a spare. So I'm glad I wasn't missing anything.

The reason for the spare oring?
I source diaphragms from a wide variety of sources including directly from Japan.
Some suppliers supply the required o-ring, some don't, some forget.
We always supply one of our own Viton orings for this application ...just in case.

Wickkked!! We all hate almost getting that project done only to find out we are short one piece.Randakk wrote:The reason for the spare oring?

Thanks again. Your kit was amazing and perfectly packaged! The fact also that you included the tiny washer with the mixture screw o-ring was key. My carbs were missing 2 of these, so thank you very much!
