169 fuel shut off with sediment bowl.

[Mike ligus]

I just found this picture online and it the title claimed it fit a 169. My 169 has the same thing in very good shape. But the shutoff screw has some type of fiber gasket in there leaking by the threads and coming apart. I like the clear viewable bowl idea. But my parts diagram and the cub diagram call for a standard fuel shut off. ? Any idea if the parts like gaskets are available to rebuild mine.

Nice. I was hope to rebuild this one but I thought it did not belong and was not oem. Mine is in great shape. Just leaks at threads. Thanks for the number and picture.

Mike, it's very possible that your gas tank simply got swapped out at some point with an older one that uses the glass bowl sediment bowl setup like you have, instead of the wire mesh shutoff up in the tank like the parts diagram shows for a 169. Honestly, I like the sediment bowl setup better, it's easy to clean.

Mike, I have in the past been able to seal the threads with plumbing tape.It is super thin so it doesn't take much.I can't tell you how long it will last but it does work. If you can find old style valve packing that's the best but hard to find now....

Robert's carburetor carries American made bowls and should be able to supply the packing

Just leaks at threads.

Dad caught his 124 on fire that way. Get it fixed correctly.

Or replace the sleeve gasket.

You can get Teflon " plumbers tape" for gasoline

Why not go OEM for only $9? All you have to do is see Charlie for all your needs and wants!

i have bought several from charlie and they work fine and look good. its not worth the hassle to mess with them and then worry if they're going to leak.

. . . and if, like me, you sometimes can't see/find it on CCS website, give him an email. For some reason, the website doesn't work well on my phone, but great on my laptop.
