Title: Jet Set O Ring
Post by: Davelu88 on August 15, 2022, 10:12:51 PM

Hi All , I ordered the Keyster carb gasket set from DS and the O ring for the Jet Set does not seem as thick when put on as the old one was . Is this normal ?. Many thanks Dave

They are not genuine O rings Dave and they are also not Viton, so not Ethanol / modern fuel resistant.
If you are concerned,  I sell full Viton Carb O ring kits for your bike.

Was it the full repair kit or just the gaskets you bought? Comes up regularly on the US forum that the keyster brass is not very accurate

Just the gaskets Bryan , it is not even close to filing the groove in the jet , just seems too loose
