Fuel tap issues
Hi
My NC30 has never had the vacuum membrane in the fuel tap, and the tap leaks slightly when off. This means if the needle and seats ever fail to seal I am in trouble.
Any suggestions? Are new vacuum membranes available? Can the tap be serviced or new ones obtained. I feel its a ticking timebomb.
Thanks

Re: Fuel tap issues
Rick Oliver sells fuel tap rebuild kits that includes the diaphram, could be a good option.

Re: Fuel tap issues
or get a dry brake connector for the fuel line
