Silly K301A carb bowl ring gasket question
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.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
