Gas shut-off leaking

winwun · 10-20-2008, 12:53 PM

On my GY-3, ever since I went to av gas, I have noticed a leak at the shut-off valve.

Not a great deal, but over 24 hours, it will leak enough to run down to the bottom of the crankcase, but not enough to drip off.

It is easily noticeable with the blue color in the av gas I use, and I have checked all the screws close to the valve, and they are all tight.

I do not use the cut-off valve, as I have never had a problem with the carb overflowing.

Has anyone else had this problem -- any suggestions/ideas ?

Like a small plumbing leak, if I leave it alone, will it eventually seal itself ?
