Try an industrial supplier named "Rubberline"

Re: O-rings

Hi,

In a pinch, I've used small fuel line. Find the size of fuel line that has the same dimensions as the "O" ring, usually the "1/2 A" fuel line (for .049 engines) then carefully cut across the fuel line the width you need. This will work until you get a new "O" ring.

Hope this helps.

Fly4Fun,

Wayne

Re: O-rings

Thanks for all the suggestions. When I rebuild an engine and replace the gaskets etc. I would like to do the carbs too, but you can't always get kits for that, so a source of o-rings would be good.

Re: O-rings

what engine you rebuilding might help to be able to get the specs of the O rings to get. Last one I needed I got at a local auto parts store dirt cheap.

Re: O-rings

None right now, but I just finished a Saito 100 and they do sell a carb kit for theirs which got me thinking about all my 2 strokes where you can never find them when you need them.
Dougl's suggestion is a good one for me as I can access aviation o-rings fairly easy.
