Ronayers has the part, which number is 16030-1007 and cost ~$26 each.
Improvised O-rings aren't substitute for those parts, IMHO, especially is they disintegrate in gasoline + ethanol.
The way to test the valves is connecting a hose long enough to mimic the height level of a full tank above the carbs and fill it up with gas: the valves shouldn't allow any gas into the carbs once the bowls reach the specified level.
This is a good opportunity to verify the level that the fuel reaches inside the bowls (when valves are closing properly).

Sorry to confuse you like that, I meant the sealer between the the two pieces of the carb(90255). the oddly shaped rubber tubing in the schematic you posted earlier. If there was a way to "glue" it into the ridge it would be so much easier to put back together...
I'll try that way of filling them tomorrow; hopefully I have cleaned them out sufficiently.
