Default RE: Engine fuel leak

OK, Im back to the original 3 shims now and I took alot of time to ensure i tightened the heatsink evenly and in the right order.

Just ran a whole tank of fuel through it (it sounded really rough), was running rich cos there was smoke all of the time but its wasnt so rich it was spitting fuel out the exhaust.

There is no fuel around the glowplug, so i dont think the leak is there.

At the end of the run I checked the temp - It was 85F (20C), the heatsink was barely warm to the touch.

Im running 20% fuel. The temp gun is a Microtemp MT002 (which the guy in the shop recommended).

I must admit im scared to run it again, as I dont want to damage it like neilt6 suggested, I didnt go anywhere near WOT running today.

Couple of pics showing how bad the leak is....


Please help.....[sm=confused_smile.gif][sm=confused.gif][sm=cry_smile.gif][sm=crying.gif][sm=frown.gif][sm=48_48.gif][sm=angry.gif]
