Secondary fuel bleed screw threading stripped.

Got her done.

Got her done. Took all of 20 minutes to swap out the old one and bleed the lines. I did as suggested earlier, and lightly sanded the copper washers with 220 grit, tightened and loosened and re tighten the fittings. The only hard part was the location was a little tight to get at, but I used a very small ratchet wrench with 10mm socket to un bolt from the mount, I was able to disconnect the banjo fittings with little turns with a 19mm open end wrench. I had just never dealt with banjo fittings before. All is good, no big mystery.

I did replace the fuel filter assembly with a new one though. I may try to repair the old one and keep it as a back up or sell it at a Nautical Rummage sale.

The worst part was trying to save $ by dealing with that useless online shipstore.com. I should have just dealt with my local supplier in the first place. Doing a Santa Sail for Christmas. Thanks for all the help!

Happy Holidays All! :xmas_grin
