O-Rings!
I was looking for o-rings to replace the fuel joint o-rings for the carbs and came across this at AutoZone.
Dorman P/N: 799-450 172 Piece Metric O-Rings Pack
This kit has lots of different sizes of o-rings from 5mm up to 14mm for right around $9.00 USD.
Don't be lost without one! I'm glad I found this kit.

Only thing you have to watch out for is their compatibility with gasoline. Butyl rubber o-rings aren't very good with gas. (It's funny, though, because I've seen some butyls that seem to last much longer than others....
)
Anyway, nitrile (buna) and "viton" are usually the way to go in fuel applications. (which is why I mentioned the AC repair kit o-rings)
The ones you have may be nitrile... but many aren't unless they say so.
Here's a chart of compatibility. (just for reference)
