Ok... I had to take my carbs apart because of a bad O-ring on the Tee where the fuel comes in. I decided to go ahead and replace all the O-rings.
My question is, what kind of lube, if any, is best to use to reinstall the O-rings?
I have dielectric grease, pool O-ring grease, synthetic motor oil, and slick 50 grease. Would one of these be fine or should I consider something else?
Also, I assume I should NOT put anything on the plastic washers on the choke slide. Is that a correct assumption?
Thanks!
