Is the little rubber O ring in the hole on the carb body for the low idle screw? Air sucking in there would be an issue

I didn't know there was an Oring??

Yep. On the threaded part of the valve between the spring and the body.

So far on both of the K181 #22s I’ve rebuilt.

Pesky little critters and NOT included in the rebuild kits.

You may not have noticed it.

It's usually stuck into the carb body hole and stays but dry rotted ones can fall out

I thought the idle mixture screw felt a little loose maybe there was an o ring to snug it up.
