 Topic: Banjo leaking in my 200
Posted: 06 Jun 2022 at 4:38am |
|
We had the pump overhauled on my 200 last fall and put her away for the year. I have fuel dripping from a banjo or two and have replaced those with new steel washers as was done last fall also. I can’t seem to stop the leaks. Can I try copper washers instead? How much should they be torqued? Thanks, DANA

NO don't use copper. I would guess you have some bad lines or chips out of head . MACK

I had the same problem on my 200 years ago. I just kept tightening them til I thought they were about to break or twist off and they quit leaking. They must be some dam hard bolts.

Last time I installed pump on 220 I thought I'd try that torque wrench thing on the ones I could get to. Bout crapped down my leg as it kept turning and finally clicked. I'm sure I had never tightened them that tight before with an end wrench.

Why not MACK? I guess you are asking why not copper washers. They are too soft and bolt can screw into bottom of hole and lock head to shaft. I won't even reuse a used washer. If you have to reuse a washer, add a extra washer. MACK

Mack says NOT to use copper washers. I have had better luck with copper washers. Never had one leak. The steel washers are harder to get a good seal (for me). While using copper washers, no bottoming out was experienced on my 180 diesel with Roosa Master injection pump. I only used copper washers on the connections that would not seal.

I used copper on all mine on my XT. It had copper before and just bought new ones. No leaks after 4 years now.

OK I know y’all couldn’t sleep since I posted this wondering what the outcome was. Well believe it or not this hayseed got to use the three eights inch torque wrench and to my astonishment they were loose. I took the three easy ones to get to and could not believe how tight that is so I tightened the other three with normal end wrenches and she is good to go. Thanks to all for my lack of expertise on this matter!

I had a similar problem with my 190xt. It was spraying fuel and a drip. It just started last week I think. I happened to see it yesterday. I put a wrench on it and tightened it up and it stopped leaking. I don't see how it loosened up. It was on the bottom so easy to get to and fix. I installed the injection pump about 4 years ago after getting rebuilt so I am the last guy to tighten the nuts. I hate dealing with that one on the backside so glad it wasn't the one leaking. I guess you need to check them every once in awhile.

curious... Do these bolts have lockwashers('internal' ) as well as the 'steel sealing washers' ? seems to me there's a wee bit of vibration to deal with hour after hour after hour after......

No lockwashers or any kind of locking. Kind of like head bolts. Just the tightness keeps them from moving.
