Fueling Screw Fuel Leak

[jdross440]

My VE pump has started leaking fuel around the fueling screw (the screw had been turned in about 1 1/2 turns many years ago). I put in new seals, orings and 3200 rpm governor spring about 3 years ago due to fuel leaks from the "new" fuels. When I loosen the jamb nut, it will quit leaking. When I backed the jamb nut off the power screw may have turned 1/8 turn. When I snugged the nut back down it didn't leak so I thought it had stopped it. After sitting a week and starting it, it leaks again. Is there an oring on the screw? If it does have an oring what is involved in replacing it?

I only have about 260K miles on

Yes there is a o ring on that shaft. I still have some left. PM me with your mailing address and I will send you a couple. They are free and the only thing I ask is that you let me know that you received them.
