I just swapped the tanks on Norine, and used new fuel valves, because I
wanted nice shinny ones, they leaked like crazy, there was no position I
could put the levers that would shut off the fuel flow completely, I went
through 2 sets of new ones and they all leaked, so I went to the parts bin
and went through a pile of used ones and finally got a pair that didn't leak
and looked decent. What a pain! Anyone had these issues with the new ones? I
know we talked about new gaskets for fuel valves on the list before, anyone
successfully fix thier's? Also my nice shinny gas cap didn't seal, I fixed
that with a cork gasket. But Norine is ready to run now with a shinny tank.
