[SEL] Drip oiler check ball

[Mark Shulaw]

Depends on how bad the leaking problem is. If its just a slight leak 
and what material the ball is made of. In many cases where the seat 
is brass you can use a brass rod set against the ball and using a 
hammer give the rod a tap or two driving the ball into the seat which 
results in the seat conforming to the round shape of the ball. Quick, 
simple and easy. Do it all the time here. How hard you hammer depends 
on the size of the ball and the thickness of the seat. Easy does it 
on the small and thinner stuff. Do it on the ball seat of the Maytag 
carb fuel pickup all the time. And the ball in the type E 
carb.             Mark
