I paid the Honda dealer $24 for a single O-ring that seals the float bowl to the carburetor body. The dealer tried charging me $37, but I quoted the $24.95 price from babbittsonline.com, and the dealer beat Babbit's. Still, what a complete ripoff.
Before shelling out the $24, I tried using silicone and even tried making my own rubber gasket, but both of those sucked. I'm sure the O-ring cost a couple cents to manufacture.
