hello all. I have the above engine which is about a 2010 model with an integral gas tank. If I have gas in the tank and lay it on it's side it will leak gas where the cap should seal to the tank. I tried flipping the cap gasket but it didn't solve the leak. It leaks slowly, but always. It has the type of cap that tightens to a certain torque then just clicks beyond that tightness. Any suggestions on what to try? Thanks in advance. Rick.
