How heavy is your oil? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 | If you're talking about a leak around the adjustment screw, a
dab of Permatex #2 on the threads when you rebuild it well seal
it up. Won't hurt to put a dab on the sector adjustment also.

Thanks John | | |
