Jw-22 carb

There was a thread a few years ago that addressed this subject, and it was brought up that the fat o-ring is used on the QD-14. Looks like Steve D is correct.

In 1953 I was 4 years old and would never have guessed that o-rings had been invented 🙂 🙂 but what does a 4 year old know…

The first patent for the O-ring, is dated May 12, 1896 as a Swedish patent. J. O. Lundberg, the inventor of the O-ring, received the patent

Haha, cliff Claven would be proud, learn so much here!

OK, well that sure looks like the oring, but why would it be included with this kit. Doesn’t look like any of the pieces in this kit would fit on that old QD carb……

I have no idea Don, maybe OMC made a mistake they never bothered to correct? Like you said, it really doesn’t make any sense but management kept me in the dark on that decision.

I believe that o-ring was used in one of the motors where the kit is applicable. But I’ve just spent a couple of hours trying to remember where. I’m thinking one of the newer models. ?????

Instead of getting a kit, twice now I’ve stacked two O-Rings from a Harbor-Freight O-ring assortment in place of that donut gasket and they have worked fine. They were 1/16 inch cross section and – oh darn I don’t remember for sure but either 5/16″ or 1/4″ I.D. – which ever fit slightly snug over that jet.

This was posted a few years ago about replacement O rings for the nozzle gasket.

A "Boathouse Repair" is one that done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
