Did you check to see if the O ring was still good, or there at all? If it is there and in good shape, try putting a LITTLE bit of grease on it, it worked for a tranny oil leak I had even with a new gasket. I think silicon would work to, but I don't know for sure on the silicon.

No. Replace the o-ring.

Silicone seal has been the death of many a carb.

I'm pretty sure the manufacturer calls for a 10-40 oil (just to complicate things further).

That's why I wasn't sure about the silicon. A new O ring would be the best possible thing to do though.

Check a carb diagram to make double sure it needs one then order it in. Make sure the diagram is for the same model bike.

All air screws have an o-ring.
