Amal monobloc leak

Post by vince33 »

Hello,

Probably the screw thread, do you have some advices for me, please ?

Hi

There is a fibre washer that seals the jet block, a good hardware store should be able to match it or get close enough.

If the leak is coming from the main jet cap, this has no sealing washer, (it seals on a taper), take the cap off and clean both sides of the taper and re-assemble. Don't forget to hold the jet block with a spanner when removing / fitting the cap ;)

Regards Mick
