Hi
I have fuel leaking from from the packing nut. The manual talks about removing this and cleaning out. Can someone tell me what it is packed with and is it as easy as just repacking it.
Thanks
 

I used cotton caulking left over from restoring an old wooden boat . That was at least seven years ago and it hasn't let go yet . Yes , all you need to do is remove any old stuff and wind a few strands around then tighten.
 
Thanks Charles, guess it's not stocked at
Bunnings. Hope it's not as expensive as
getting the motor reconditioned 😂.
Cheers
 
Have you tried just tightening the packing nut?

If it's bottomed out, won't tighten, back the nut all the way out, twist some Teflon tape into a long string, wrap it a few turn clockwise, put the nut back on.

If the old packing is still in there, it's easier to just add to it instead of taking it out.
 
Hi Steve
I took it apart but practically nothing left, I found this site in the USA selling the original deal deal bit pricey otherwise think I will enquire at Carburetor repair shop, needs to be impervious to petrol.
Cheers
 

Tease out some cotton sash cord , yes you can buy that at Bunnings :D Didn't realise you were from OZ .
Sash cord is that white ,soft rope children use for skipping , you'll only need 100mm . Just pick at it until you have enough long soft strands a pinch will do .
 
OK got the gist of that now, Will give that
a try tomorrow. Sorry to inform I'm in NZ.
Thanks Charles.
