3588S Pump Seal

For a R2 Carb does the accelerator pump seal come in a carb kit from SI? Where can I find a picture of it?

The seal is not included in the kit.

I've purchase 2 kits that had seals in them. Look for a kit that covers both auto and marine. That seal is not what an original seal looks like. Originals were two fiber washers separated by spring. At least that's what I found on my 3725s. I do remember having issues with the accel pump fit when I switched out the originals.

I used a seal like the one pictured. It seals fine, but I could not get enough travel for the accelarator pump, and had to file the seal down to make it thinner - it is quite a bit thicker than the one the R2 carbs orginally came with.

The picture has a washer-like retainer. What is inside or under it? 2R2, what did you file down?
