Re: Fuel valve rebuild and manual mistake WARNING
Posted: Thu Dec 27, 2018 4:16 pm
During the annual we started just last week we found that fuel does not shut off fully when in the off position.
I think it’s time for a rebuild of the selector valve on my ‘52 B model SN 20746. I’ve already ordered the McFarlane kit with the O rings and gasket and read this entire post plus George’s article twice. I’m heading to the hangar now to do the “push test”. If it passes that we may defer the rebuilding of the valve until warmer weather allows working outside or at least with my hangar door fully open. If anyone has some recent learning to pass on please chime in.
I agree with Karl’s comment that the learning provided here is worth much more than the price of admission.
