Are the o rings std metric sizes? Want to replace on 3 sets..Tiger,Super3 and a spare set. Will cost a small fortune to buy kits,wondering if generic(nitrile) kits will be ok? Thanks

What are the o rings for?

Guessing the carbs?

Sorry,yes carbs. My Super3 has been off road for 6months. Its never been a great starter (not as good as Trident or the Tiger,the starters seem to spin faster and they fire up quicker)..always suspected a choke issue? Anyway, was going to strip carbs and check and put new o rings in. I know the kits are about £15 per carb,but thinking about generic kits? I'll have enough to do the other 2 sets,if their suitable that is?? But maybe that Profi fuel stuff will work??

I did mine a while ago, got the kits off ebay, as the kit included the float assembly o rings as well which sometimes get overlooked.
I`ll have a look at what i paid.
