To make it simple. Find the washer that fits over the air inlet hole. See where the hole is? See how the washer restricts air flow? Just take a utility knife and cut a bit away from the gasket. A "v" type cut will work great. This way you don't need to worry about getting o-rings. I used a drop of super glue on the gasket to hold it in place.
