Hey all,

This one has me feeling particularly dumb. I recently cleaned out my Cub 126 carb. I felt it could idle better, so I just removed it, cleaned, and reinstalled.

The next day I noticed that the bowl was leaking. I figured the bowl o-ring or gasket had worn out, so I ordered a rebuild kit.

The kit arrived, but when I went to install it the square ring was too big to fit in the groove. It would hang over the side no matter how much I tried to stuff it in. I tried just installing the rubber baffle gasket, but the carb still has a slow leak - stinking up my garage.

What the heck am I missing? The carb has a groove for the square ring. I lost/never had anoriginal, so I can't compare it. I could take the bowl off my 129, to look at that one, but I'd like to avoid it.

Has anybody run into this? I tried searching the subject, but couldn't find much. Any help is greatly appreciated.
