VM32 Pilot Air Screw

Post by GreenMachine »

Hey guys,

Bought a Keyster kit for my stock VM32s on my T500R. The pilot air screws in the kit are nothing like the ones in the carb, so i'll re-use my old ones. Question is - the old ones have some chewed-up o-rings on them that don't appear in the keyster kit.

Are these o-rings necessary or are they a previous owner bodge?

Thanks in advance!

I looked at the online fiche and the o-ring is definitely supposed to be there. The o-ring prevents air leakage around the screw. The part number is 13278-02340 and shows to be available.
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

Do you have a line to the site were it shows an O ring. I believe we are talking about the screw that is turned out 1 /14 turns from bottom. I have never seen an O ring at that location?
