Fixing Fuel shut-off valve on a '47 H - Part 2

Posted by Dave in CT on December 21, 2003 at 15:18:41 from (204.60.63.97):

I neglected to mention a very important detail - the leak leaks down the fuel line when the shut-off is closed tight. If I remove the air-cleaner pipe after a night with gas in the tank and the shut-off valve closed, I get what's leaked into the carb pouring out of the air intake port. Do the fixes with the "O" ring (dental floss, packing) just inside the clamp-down nut cure that kind of leak - or does this indicate a problem with the 'male' screw-in-and-out post's not mating sufficiently with the female shut-off valve 'female' seat? If the second instance is the case, how do I fix that?

Thanks again,

Dave
