Should I Offer Carb O-ring Kits For Sale?
I'm about to place a carb O-ring order and was wondering how many people would be interested in buying if I started offering O-ring kits? I've got the required sizes captured for both VM and BS/CV carbs. I haven't priced everything yet, but guessing on $15/kit shipped in the CONTUS.
What say ye?Ed

Question for those that have used Robert's CV kit: how did the float seat O-ring fit? Any tendency to pinch the O-ring when installing the seat? Reason for asking is because the O-ring size he used is a little larger around than the size I typically use, as referenced in the CV rebuild tutorial. Thing is, Robert's size is more readily available and would allow me to keep the kit price down. Considering how many kits he sold, I'm pretty sure there is no issue with the size he used, but just thought I'd ask.Ed

The logistics of buying, packing, and shipping the kits would be the bulk of the work and the price of the kits should reflect that. My kit came from Robert with a pitneybowes label printed on it. $3.06. I don't know if he had a scale and printer or if he went to the post office. I don't know what he charged me but I would have gladly gave him 3-4Xs the 3 bucks. There must be some customer service in there as well answering emails and such. It all adds up !
A link to Eds tutorial is invaluable. Robert included a tip sheet that also had some need to read info.
