It's pretty clear the fuel tube orings in the K&L kit are a bit too small in comparison to Robert's kit. As previously mentioned by Ed, they are too small. I was able to install them on my recent BS rebuild, hopefully they last.

Thanks for the comparison, Mike.

No problem. With anything related to fuel, leaks are not something we want to worry about.
Luckily the those rings are just a bit taller/fatter, so maybe they stretched out to about the same size and like you mentioned, they didn't seem over-stretched so hopefully you'll be ok - keep us posted, fingers crossed for ya in the meantime!
Now that Ed is stocking these kits, at least we have a member that we can buy from again.----------------------------------------------------------------
