I got all of the o-rings I needed to put my carburetors back together, and in the process of changing the idle air screw o-ring, the washer fell out of the carb. It went "tink" on the table, and disappeared. I've been over the carpet back and forth with my eyes and a magnet, and I just can't find it. I think it might have landed on my dog. It's gone. That means no riding for another week over a $0.98 washer. :(
Where are you located... I can send you an extra one for free\
Might be quicker.... I have lots of extra carb parts

Tallahassee, FL. If you could, that would be great. I'd even pay. I have paypal, and am not afraid to use it. :)
Oh, thank you karma! I was having connectivity issues, so I called Comcast, they said something was wrong locally, and I gave up on the internet. I saw my dog looking up at me forlornly, and I got down in the floor to play with her. What do I see, but the washer! It was right where I'd been looking with a light and a magnet. Lesson: play with your dog more.
i have a cat... does that count?
Haha nice! Double check and make sure the o-ring is still in the carb body too.

I took it out. It was the old one, and I hadn't taken the new one out of the package yet. I put the screws in immediately once I found the washer. Not going to go through that again....
Now, I can put my carb together, smooth out my cam, adjust my valves, and I'll hopefully be back on the road by tomorrow evening. :thumb:
