Afry 1 Posted February 18, 2014 New suspension, tires, tubes, rims, battery, spark plug, gaskets, tires, wiring, mirrors, radiators, hoses and complete service and registration paid on the bike - all I need are 3 stinking o-rings! My 03 KTM 525 has these (3) very skinny o-rings where the fuel inlet goes into the carb (so that it can swivel) but KTM only wants to sell a whole carb kit for close to $100 and that hurts my wallet. I went to all the automotive and hardware stores in Ramona and I did find some metric o-rings but they are still too fat and do not work. I tried using a smaller size hoping they would stretch and be thinner but no go. I looked online and found they might be size 7 x 1.2 mm or a Doorman #80020 but this is not confirmed. Any idea where I can find a good assortment of metric o-rings in SD locally? This is putting a crimp in my DD plans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

unhuskyman 0 Posted February 18, 2014 Arnie, Try Marshall hardware in Miramar. Should have what you're looking for. Bring the outing with you. They have a few hundred different sizes. I use them on my husky oil filter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bubbagums 42 Posted February 19, 2014 I used orings I bought from Harbor Freight for the same application as you. I think the smallest size stretched and fit. I tried the local seal company with no luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
