	I used this valve for the last 20 years without O rings in it. Last week at ~~SVLS~~ when I fired it up the valve would drip fuel. I can only think the newer fuel is thinner than it used to be. I made a new cock with 2 O rings, and it does not drip now.		I used this valve for the last 20 years without O rings in it.

	It has a 1/4 inch slot cut through it, then I filed a small V grove on the leading side of the opening so it opens a little at a time. When fully open it can flush out any thing that might plug a needle type valve, then readjust back quickly.

	When you make the valve look at the way it will locate in the body, as you open the valve the V slot must be first. As you cut the 1/4 inch slot through the valve, use your hacksaw to start the V grove. this will give a good lead for the die file to follow.

			[[Dick Bagley]] showed me this trick years ago. The best part about the valve is the long V groove for slow opening, and able to open fully to flush out anything that should get in it.

I used this valve for the last 20 years without O rings in it. Last week at SVLS when I fired it up the valve would drip fuel. I can only think the newer fuel is thinner than it used to be. I made a new cock with 2 O rings, and it does not drip now.

It has a 1/4 inch slot cut through it, then I filed a small V grove on the leading side of the opening so it opens a little at a time. When fully open it can flush out any thing that might plug a needle type valve, then readjust back quickly.

The valve body can be made of most anything, such as stainless steel or [[CRS]].
