quote mercuryman:

Take the float bowl cover off, you will see a post going through the center of float there is a washer on the end. If this dries out or is missing it will run very rich. I make new washers from cork gasket material. You need to feel it compress as you replace the bowl cover.

I assume you are speaking about the "boss gasket"?

How do any of you feel about using an o-ring for this?

And; if so….do any of you know the correct nomenclature for the o-ring?

It would seem to me that in lieu of the proper cork gasket…an o-ring would be ok.

If I new the ID for the proper size…I would pick up a dozen or so just to be prepared LOL
