There is a o'ring kit available for the pilot scrwes of a valkyrie but none of the sellers send to Australia. Just wondering if any one can tell me the correct sizes of the o'rings so that I can purchase them individually.

When you find the size, get them locally in Viton or silicone material. That way they will stand up to gasoline.

no silicone, it is a poor choice for gasoline, Buna-n is oem material Viton is best http://www.efunda.com/designstandards/oring/oring_chemical.cfm?SM=none&SC=Gasoline%2C%20Automotive#mat |

I measured the O-rings that I received from Redeye with my Mitutoyo digital calipers. The OD is 0.189" or 4.8 mm. The ID is 0.1045" or 2.65 mm. The cross section is 0.045" or 1.14 mm. Hope this helps.

Could be a little hard to find, my references come up with 1mm or 1.5mm cross section.
The 1 mm has a tolerance of +/- .05 mm which could get it to 1.1
1mm is a German spec.

Sorry. Didn't mean that, though I can see that's what I said. Wasn't sure how fast they were needed.
Personally I'd rather order the whole kit from Redeye, I don't need 25 o-rings, but though our friend in Australia might be able to get ahold of them quicker this way.
