Your nick name must be LUCKY! Stat-o-seals are the washer of choice. Available at McMaster Carr. Personally, I just the old stock nylon washers. You can't get them from Suzuki anymore. If you order them now, you get aluminum.
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

I paid 59.99 for the oil lines I thought it was a good deal.

$59.99? You stole them. Those have been extinct for a long long time. Nearly everyone fights problems with them because they are old and tired, or some clown PO used compressed air on them. The seller must not have known what he had. It would have been a fair price at $259.99

So husky99 has a set of 380 lines and Battleship has a set of 750 lines. All we need now is a NOS set of 550 lone and we can open a museum.
