With the gas shut off, remove the lower bowl, set it level on your bench and fill the bowl 1/2 full. Check in the AM the bases of the two jets in the throat, if wet = leaking gaskets.


Same experiment with the float & float valve. Using rubber bands to hold the float up closing the valve, check the next day for wetness = leaking float valve gasket. Also the machined surface where the float valve & gasket sit must be smooth, not coarse & pitted.


Hope this helps, JB

Thank you. I will try this during the winter.

Best !
