hi,
I am dismantling one by one the carbs of my Z1b.
While reassembling one carb I found one black o-ring which now I don't know where I should fit it.
Apparently the are two of those o-ring out of 4 carbs...(not sure about that).
Here the photo.
help me please.

it is 10 mm diameter and approx 1.4 mm thickness.
strange thing is that I found only two o-rings out of 4 carburettors I have opened...

I think there are o rings that size under where the choke mechanism screws into the carb body

Some times people fit an o-ring to the joining tee piece to stop leaking, so if it's not from the carb itself it may from there.

Just taken some measurements from a set of VM28s chokes and the O ring is 11.5mm OD x 1.5mm cross section .
