        I could use any help one has to get at a fuel leak somewhere in the sediment bowl area.  The dash is clearly in the way of easy access, but that seems pretty complicated to remove.  If I had an understanding of the “build” procedures, it would be easier to figure out.

        I will struggle with it, but haven't found an easy way to get the sediment bowl out yet.  Once there, I'm pretty sure the leak will be evident.

        Other than that, I'm at about 500 hours on the machine with very few issues.  I need to get it running to help a neighbor clear around a house he bought for restoration.  We're in a historic district and one by one fixing up the houses in our old mining town.  🙂

          If you will drain the fuel tank,then take the fuel line, and the bottom of the bowl off (clear part), you can unscrew the fuel sediment bowl to replace it or see whats leaking.It will come off without removing the fuel tank
