    I am wondering if anyone might be able to give a measurment of the throttle shaft O-Ring. I ask this because I have access to a lot of different size O-rings at my work, and I havent taken the old seals out yet. So if anyone might happen to have one laying around that they could measure real quick I would greatly appreciate it!

    They're NOT o-rings.

    They're a proprietary modified "X" section seal. Get real ones.

    I just replaced them with the ones Chacal sells, they are far more substantial then the OEM ones. Its not worth doing all that carb work to cut corners on those seals.
