Without the washer/o-ring, the mixture would be too lean at 2.5 turns because the needle would reach further into the port, right? If I'm running rich, then I assume gas is leaking because of no o-ring. Anyone know where I can get 'em cheap?

The best I can see is to look up the part numbers for those o-rings and washers on a site like Kawasaki.com --> owners info --> parts diagrams.
Copy/paste that number into ebay or tell it to your local dealership, get a new set.
I found the 90-degree screwdriver for a better price on Ebay but I do not think you need it to get your Ninja running. It's for fine-tuning, if you turn the screws out the right amount according the manual you should be running. That fancy screwdriver is for fine-tuning, not running.
IMO your floats are too low. The bike has enough fuel to run for a minute or so then starves to death. I think the floats are not allowing enough fuel to get into the float bowls.
