last week I hard a no start. so like two times before I drained the fuel bowl and then tryed to start, it did. but then I noticed that the tube was leaking. at first I thought it was just wet from the other day so I wiped it clean and checked the drain valve to be closed. looked again today and found its a leaker. went to the parts store bought a filter and let the bowl drain one more time and gave the valve a couple of open cloeses for good mesure. just switched to B10 could this be the cause for the leak. what do I need to do if the valve is bad? change the vlave or do I need to replace the entire assembly???????? again any help is appreciated.

leaking down the tube?

Correct...............down the metal drain tube.........probably landing on your frame rail before it hits the ground.

This vendor sells them and Here are the instructions on putting them in.

His photos look just like mine..............things that make you go hummmm. :D
