I came to SC yesterday, intending to finally take my plane to NC. I've only flown it once in that last 4 months, so I pulled the cowling, checked things out, and started the engine. After a couple of minutes run time, I shut it down, and checked everything out. I found that I now have a fuel leak from one of the injectors, at the fuel rail. Apparently I have an o ring that is not leaking. I've ordered a new set of seals from Mazatrix, and I'm going to go back to the airport today, and remove the fuel rail so that I can take it back home with me. When I drilled the fuel rail for the injectors, the holes are not perfectly smooth. I think that the roughness of the bore probably led to the o ring failure. I'm going to polish the bore, without hopefully enlarging it any. I think that I'm going to use a dremel with a fine stone on it. This weekend I also have to help our yougest dughter and son-in-law frame up a new house they are building. I hope that everyone has a great time at the roundup, and I hope to make it next year.
