I took my carbs all apart today to start the dip process. Everything came apart very nicely however when I pulled out the jets there were no o rings. The main jet had washers but the others had no o rings or washers. My question is should I put the new o rings in the carb or replace with what came out of the carb today?

There are no o-rings around the jets. There ARE o-rings on the idle mixture screws, the "choke" plunger retainer, inlet (float) valve and drain screw. There should be a brass washer between the main jet and the needle jet (emulsion tube).
Where did you get your new o-rings? Hopefully you did not waste your money on "rebuild kits" for about $25 each.If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space. -
No I got them from Robert Barr cycleorings.comComment

As I continued to separate the carbs I found all the orings. The kit from Robert bar was complete and perfect sizes. Big shout out to him and his orings. Bike started right up after squeezing the carbs back in. Hair dryer works wonders when the boots are cold and stiff.Comment

Sometimes the orings will stick in the bottom of the holes. Next time you gotta work on them keep that in mind Be sure all the old ones are accounted for before double oringing something...yes i have seen carbs Ive taken down like that.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.Comment
