    I used 2 #11 o rings on my 750 carbs the first time and they were a little snug but still worked just fine. Until a couple weeks later I went to fire it up and the throttle shafts would not return to idle position not matter what I tried. I eventually pulled them back apart and replaced them with ones from Xj4ever but my buddy did get me some #11 quad rings that I will probably try on either the carbs on the parts 650 that may someday turn into a runner or the freebie rack of carbs that I have no history on other than they are Hitachi and by looking at the jets in them most likely from a 650. Others have used o rings for throttle shaft seals with good results.

    I tried stacking the #11 o-rings and they seemed too tight, so I went back together with the original seals. I have some #11 X-rings coming along with a few other miscellaneous carb parts thanks to another generous and helpful xjbikes member :)
