I can't remove the brass cover to the float valve, won't loosen. Soaked days
with PB Blaster and Kroil. The brass yields when a wrench is on it. Very tight! Is this a common problem? What is the fuel pressure suppose to be? |

fuel pressure should be 2.5 to 3 pounds, I know some will say 4 is OK
but that is the upper limit..... The caps and threads can become corroded. Best to use a 6 sided socket that has been turned down on the face to remove the rounded edge, that way giving the socket maximum contact with the head of the plug. Try working the socket both ways, tight and lose, to get it free. . |
