After cleaning the carbs, I checked the o-rings.  A few are dry and the one for the valve assembly broke when I tried to remove it.  I found that there are no rebuild kits for the 01 and 02 models.  Not only that, but you can't order just an O-ring for the valve assembly.  You have to buy the entire assembly at 35 bucks a pop.  WTF?   :guns:  

Anyone know what size o-ring is needed and where I might be able to find one or even a rebuild kit that would include it?  Thanks!

Yeow!  Yeah, I found out just yesterday that they don't sell rebuild kits.  Parts guy told me you have to order each part individually.  WTF?   :x

Anyhow, for $36 you can get a complete metric O-ring kit.  Bound to have something that you can call "close enough", although you'll probably find a direct replacement.  Bikes seem to have lots of O-rings.  A kit would come in handy.

O-rings are generally measured by the ID (Inside Diameter) and the diameter of the cord. :thumb:
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?
