Thanks Bklion,

No old radios or tv's lying around.  I've moved too many times for work and have cleaned house every time.

I put the carbs together tonight with the thick o-ring and it doesn't work.  The accelerator pump wasn't able to spray any fuel at all, even into the #2 carb (the one that sprays the hardest if I just spray carb cleaner into the accelerator hole).

I'll go pick up a ring from the auto parts store tomorrow.  If anyone is interested, the "dash" 901 that mike referenced earlier in this thread has an inside diameter of .185 inches and a cross section of .056 inches.  I'll be looking for that tomorrow.

Oh ya, and I should mention that I'm a bonehead .  I found the missing fuel mixture washers.  They were either stuck to the fuel mixture springs or I was able to dig them out of the used pine-sol (I ran it through a sieve because I suspected that I might find them in there).
