If you have a leaking carburetor, you will have no other choice then draing the header tank and then taking the fuel valeve apart. (after your Chekride of course) It is easily done. I did not need a heat device when I did that. Clean and verify ease of function . Put back together.

Sure was tempting to just make a circuit or two without a BFR or checkout when nobody was really watching. Anyhow, I turned on the fuel to start, turned it off when I was at the fuel pumps refueling, back on to start again, the valve acted quite normal. When I got back to the hangar, the darned fuel valve would not shut off! It seems to be locked in the on position, I used a lot of force even, still no turn off! Has anyone else had such a problem with the fuel shutoff valve? _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft’s powerful SPAM protection. https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=60969
