Hi Scott. There is an o-ring if they are adjustable needles. Remove the
piston and take out the needle housing assembly. Turn the piton over and
you can push the "adjusting nut" and star washer out the top of the tube.
The part with the o-ring is now lying on the table. I was able to find a
suitable o-ring in an auto-zone misc o ring package. I gooped it up with
white silicone grease on reassembly.

Subject: Losing Damper Oil ZS
Hope all in the East are staying cool (I'm trying to).
I have noticed over the past month or so
that my rear ZS carb is "swallowing" its damper oil.
I need to top it up about once a week. What is
the diagnosis and how best to correct? I assume
it has a faulty gasket that needs replaced?
TIA.
