Leaking fuel screw...
« on: April 06, 2008, 09:04:08 am »
I've got a small amount of diesel dripping from the fuel screw. To fix it I need to remove it, but I know that this screw is very sensitive to any movement. Do I just count how many turns it takes to pull it out or is there an other way to replace the seal? Any help would be greatful.
Thanks, Josh :)
