    Anyone know the ID and OD of the packing washers?

    I’ve got to replace mine.

    John, the packing washers are 1/4″id 3/8″od. I make my own from different gasket paper and once in a while from leather pieces. I have been told that Ace hardware has them but I don’t know that for sure. Some people say they use O rings. I have not had any luck with those. You need a washer that will hold the needle in position, sometimes vibration will unscrew the needle and performance will go away quickly. They also need to seal up so they don’t leak fuel or air.
