No idle fuel o ring?

Hello, so I'm learning about the GS500, and had issues with vibration, se previous post here https://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php/topic,74409.0.html

As it turns out, it was a fuel issue, when I rebuilt the carbs, I had no spare parts, but looking at the exploded view I think I am missing the idle fuel screw washer and Oring. I suspect this because to set proper idle mix, I have to set the screws in weird asymmetrical positions, and when doing the standard 3 turns out my left plug got badly fouled.

Am I straight up missing these parts, is it even possible? Or are they just old and stuck?  I have an image I took with a mirror: https://share.icloud.com/photos/038TuThy7KWsuB16wABGO6tgg

Yes it does have an o-ring. No, you dont appear to have one. I believe most rebuid kits have them though. You may luck out at the stealership.
Hope you get it straight.

People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs.
