What color washer? Did you pull the jets? The main has a washer under it,, or, it will before it runs,

Im no help at all on the O ring, sorry,

When I work on things I have too little experience on to know exactly how it goes back together, I am super careful & organized taking it apart.
I keep things that go together, together. I even tape or ties things in places, I put bolts back in holes, because I just cant remember some things,, Notes help, but my favorite aid is as I take things apart, I hold it oriented one way & lay parts out accordingly,

I don't want to be offending but some problems are house made. If you manage to have left some parts, the work quality can't be that accurate. A Savage or S40 is not a horror at all if you know what you're doing.

It went on the pilot screw (otherwise known as the air screw), as I recall. Happy hunting!

I do this kind of thing too. I label things, and I put groups of things in snack-size baggies with labels.

Another really helpful trick that has saved my tushy many times is to pull out the Droid and take a zillion pics. There have even been a few folks here who could not remember how something went back together (one was handlebar switches and wiring) and I had taken all kinds of pics for a similar disassemble and reassemble. It was handy to be able to help him out.

It helped me recently restore a 20 year old universal workout station and there were multiple routes that a pully cable could have gone, would have been alot of unneeded trial and error without pics LOL.

I've even used the camera in the video mode while I narrated what I was doing to make sure my 65 year old brain could go back and reassemble things a month later.

So far, I havent been forced to lean on the new technologies for mechanic stuff,

Seriously guys, can you Believe what we HAVE? Remember thingy TRacy & the "wrist Radio"? & REmember in the 60's, front of Popular Science was a big room, full of a new idea, a Laser.. & it was HUGE,, & now, you can get a laser that looks like a ball point pen. & we can take pictures or video & theres no "Send it to the lab to be developed",, Its There,,

Weve seen some almost magical developments,, &, I am not a magician,, I can use the camera, but, getting pics online? Not easy.,,
