You'll be fine. Just make sure you either a) replace those o-rings or put a gasket marker on those o-rings to ensure that they seal up when you put it back. Just for future reference carb cleaner is usually fine for anything along the intake track.

 

hey thanks man... no additional o rings around or a gasket to put on for that matter... should be ok like that temporarily yah?

 

should be okay, but if you get a hunting idle it's because of a leak. So don't freak out if it does.

Use a pair or needlenose pliers and gently twist the hoses off, works much better than a screwdriver
