Hi all,



Does anyone know where the 'fuel valve' is that goes into the carburettor on the HS6A?



We are getting drips of fuel on shut down and have had advice that it is either the membranes (we have installed a freshly overhauled carb this week, so it's not that) or a 'leaking fuel valve that leads into the carburettor'. 



Both the existing and overhauled carbs do the same thing - it was what prompted me to overhaul the spare carb in the first place.



Thanks

To completely shut the fuel off, pull the “Fire Control” handle. It’s in front of the throttle and prop controls. It shuts the fuel off going into the fuel screen on the firewall. From the fuel screen, the fuel goes into the fuel pump. From the fuel pump into the carburetor.



Who overhauled the carburetor?  

Dennis?

Check the drain screws, there is one lower and an upper over the fuel chamber. They should have safety wire but ....

found it! the fuel valve anyway. Thanks Marcell. It is in the carb itself. We are hoping it just got a bit of grit in it during shipping etc.
