I post from my experience and what works for me. I ask you to do the same. Isn't this why you got booted from the forum?
Friends don't let friends put ethanol fuel into their classic cars .motorcycles and lawn equipment. It gathers water and ruins everything. In your daily driver its fine. But periodic use machines is a Hard No for me.
If you have to use E10 fuel I get it. We can get ethanol free gas in the states.

In defence of Ken do you expect us to know you have Ethanol free Petrol in the US?
Why not stick to the US forum rather than make inappropriate comments here stirring up old wounds.
This forum gives advice, you can choose to ignore it without winging.

All i can say is i have had mamy kits frpm Julir for 500 600 550 anf they work fine.
It was me who found a VERY old parts book with individual O ring numbers and sizes, i used to sell oil pump kits and worked out the size for cover O ringbut my supplier changed minimum order to 1,000 of any one size so i gave up, gratefull to Julie for keeping the supply going
Oddjob:
Surely the point Mark Paris is making is more to do with fitting smaller than specified orings in the first place. A 4.11 ring wouldn’t need to be stretched out of spec.
And no I don’t post to contradict you, I just don’t happen to agree with you in this instance, plus as Ted says, we don’t have ethanol free fuel readily available in the UK, and as we are on a UK forum and those fuels are currently available are becoming harder and harder to find, I feel my advice to fit viton rings much more suitable for UK riders. If you disagree that’s fine, we are all entitled to our opinion.

When I wrongly quoted the O ring part number being available at Fowlers Ash pointed out my error with humour.
My rant is over, Steve Ill keep stum.
