The rubber ring on the vent is not necessary to how it works. I have several old OMC's that run fine without them.

That's true but if the rubber ring has gone you cannot properly close the vent.

Thanks for the information. I will not attempt to deal with it. I got this motor last winter, and it was in bad shape. I put new gas lines, points, plugs, wires, coils, impeller, head gasket, carb kit and lower end grease. Now the engine runs great! I love these engines.
