No, but you should be able to do it yourself with new gaskets. Engine Gaskets for the Antique Market - Olson's Gaskets (olsonsgaskets.com) I suggest you try these before you give up and send it out: Just open it up & give it a good cleaning. Sometimes the lower flapper valve gets stuck or won't seal with dirt in the seal area. Make sure you have good vacuum to pull from the fuel tank with no cracks or holes in the fuel line. Use Super Glue or gas tank sealer to seal the lid. The pot metal lids are sometimes porus and will suck air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
