Whatever works Raygun. I know that Homer01 tried to buy the seals from Hightech in Newmarket Ontario Canada and they wanted $200 for shipping and handling to Tamworth Australia. That's when I stepped in and offered to mail him the orings. Cost for mailing was $2.80 (peanuts). I think the last time I was at Hightech, I picked up enough for 10 sets Just for giggles.

Parker Hannifin (Canada) Parker (worldwide)is a good source. www.theoringstore.com/ (The oring Store LLC in United Stated is another who sells orings on line.

Anyway if you need some help with getting the orings, just send me a PM. It's not a big deal.

Thank you very much. You gave me all the information I was looking for. I appreciate your help.

Forums like this one, as in a lot of social media attract the good and the bad, and sometimes, as you've noted , they bring out the worst in people.
However, sites like this one would soon peeter out if it wasn't for contributors like yourself. There is always only a handful of people who do most of the heavy lifting- the other 90% come/join, get what they need and then they are never heard from again.
I have learnt over the years that I have had to get a bit more thick skinned and let the abuse roll off - just post what I think and leave it at that. Alot of new comers need genuine help, even if the same questions come up over and over.
I personally have gained alot from your posts, so from where I'm standing, I hope you keep it up

DITTO!!!!

I appreciate your posts kawboy. They've certainly helped me a lot. I've also stuck around after getting what I need to impart my meager store of information for those who may need it. I may not be 100% accurate but I try to help best I can. I appreciate how much this site has helped me so the only the I can do is try to help others in return.

I agree, and sometimes even if the answer to a question isn't quite right it may open up a thought process to a new line of thinking that will solve the issue.

Sometimes its best to walk away from a frustrating job for a couple of minutes and come back after letting your mind reset.

just my 2 cents worth

Kawboy;
You rock man! If it wasn't for you and the other contributors on this site I for one would be totally screwed. I just got my 1300 and I'm learning to speak Kawasaki. I ordered the carb kits on line and I would have installed those O-rings and then had to do it all again if not for your advice. Many Thanks!
So illegitumus non tatum carborundum. (Don't let the bastards get you down.) Or as I once read on the back of a decrepid looking van "Some people find fault like there was a reward for it."
