All,
The smell of fuel in my cockpit was a leak from the shutoff valve
between the cowl tank and the carb. The valve dripped once about
every 20 seconds or so when closed, but did not leak at all when
opened. So my temporary fix is to leave the valve open all the time,
and shut off the engine with the mag switch.
Now for my questions - can the valve be rebuilt? Is there a source
for a new valve? Is there an acceptable replacement if not? If anyone
has replaced the valve with another kind, and has a field approval,
could I get a copy?
Thanks!
Larry
