Greetings everyone. I am getting down to the final assembly and am looking for an o-ring for the carb. I had to replace the original carb body with a slightly newer one and apparently the o-ring changed shapes. The original was round and the replacement has an oval shape. Does anyone know where I might source this little jewel? I'm not exactly sure and haven't seen one on any of my usual sources.

As always, your help is much appreciated.

Mike

KH-0042 is the Keyster kit for the late model CA95 carb ("square" bowl). It should have the o-ring you need. p.s.: the early carb kit is KH-0035 ("round" bowl). Have fun!
p.s.: the o-ring is round in both kits, you merely have to "fit" it into the oval shape on the later carb body.

I almost hate to say this because I have always felt good about the work I have done on my bikes but....

Damn!!!! Absolutely amazing work. Stunning isn't even a good enough description. The new gold standard we will all aspire to from here on in.
