I apologize for replying to this old thread, but this can be fixed to work correctly with two o-rings. At your local hardware store, they should have a selection of o-rings with the plumbing repair parts. A #29 size fits the cover groove; #32 fits the pale yellow piston. (Just to be sure, take the old rings with you to match the size).
1. Remove the cover.
2. Remove the cover o-ring (it has typically turned to a brittle plastic).
3. Unscrew the yellow piston.
4. Remove the o-ring from the piston (again, it may break like plastic).
5. Install the #32 o-ring on the piston.
6. Lightly lubricate the inside of the FITV with WD40 or other spray lubricant (this helps the new o-ring slide as you thread the piston back in).
7. Install the piston. Turn it all the way down, then back off about 2 complete turns. This should put your cold idle between 1500 and 2000 rpm.
8. Install the cover o-ring in the groove.
9. Install the cover.
If the cold idle is too high/low for your taste, turn the piston out to increase the cold idle speed, in to decrease.
