No, I got them to fit in the end, but it was such a pain. Julie wouldn't be sending me the wrong size btw.  ;)

Mine were much easier when I stretched them a little, plus some grease

That is interesting Ken, my 400 came with a lot of new parts including the float bowl rubber type seal - they fitted dry without issue - they were Keyster iirc that do not get a good press here.

When I rebuilt my spare set of 400 carbs earlier this year I had to use Red Rubber grease to hold my O ring seal in place in place.

I had the same experience with the Orings as ODDjob - I got the Oring set from Nurse Julie when rebuilding my carbs a couple of weeks ago and they held themselves in the bowl grooves with no need for any grease/glue.

Maybe I'm no good at it.  ;D
