I heard that there is a packing to replace but when looking at the parts book I only see a gasket for the nut at the end. Anyone know the part number for the packing or what I can do to keep this from leaking. [Reply]   [No Email]

This is a common problem especially with the newer gasoline. Best thing is to use the bowl shut off after setting the valve where you want it and tighting up the cap nut pretty tight. Good Luck!

The one on the on the end around the shaft is sort of optional. I lap evertything first with Clover lapping compound. They won't drip and will work real smooth if you install o-rings. Sorry for the crude sketch.   [Reply]  [No Email]
