Idle Screw O-ring

[vdub.grego at gmail.com (Matt Gregory)]

I bought every size o-ring I could find at Advance, Autozone, Napa,  
Pepboys, Lowe's, HomeDepot, and Ace.  Some of the inside diameters  
were right, but the outside diameter would be way too big or small.   
Hadn't thought of tractor supply places or heavy equipment.  I just  
left the closest size o-ring on and applied teflon tape liberally to  
the threads and left it at that.  I was sick of looking.

But if you come across one, I'm certainly interested.
