You'll want extras! I tore 2 or 3 installing them with Vaseline.

Air screw has 3.25mm I.D. x 1.40mm Cross Section oring.
Since they don't contact gasoline, you can probably get away with HNBR or Nitrile, but Viton is better if you have that.
As Patton noted, the rebuild kits come with orings and brand new screws, along with many other useful parts (jets, adjustable needles, fuel valves, orings, etc). Very good deal.
As Martin noted, there is a lot of TK22 and KZ550 info on my site in his link, or in my signature.

Install your o-rings, set at even number turns run bike.
Now remove all the orings, reinstall to same number turns, did you notice any difference?
Remember, don't work on your bike so much you never ride it.

I notice that fuel's leaking out of overflow tube on one of the carbs. I adjusted the fuel level and it seemed to be ok but I'm not really sure. Could it just be the o-ring or something else?
And if it is the o-ring, can you please point me to an ebay link again? I tried looking but was unable to find anything.

Would suspect imperfect fuel valve. Usually just dirty, but sometimes worn.
Less likely to be an issue with the float itself, such as leaking float.
Possibly a cracked or loose overflow tube.
Probably wasn't result of improper float height (which may have been goofed up when trying to correct a float valve leak by messing with the float height).
When fuel valve has been corrected, would perform the clear tube test, and readjust the float tang as needed to achieve correct fuel level.
