Re: Needle&Seat leaking

Do an inspection of the needle and seat.Go to this thread and see pic http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=506790
It shows a drawing. Compare this.Look at the seat in the bowl.Sometimes they de-laminate and won't seat right.
Seats can be removed but I wouldn't want to try it.I think FrankA does.
I sent you a`PM.
