The various F-engine shrouds that have the gas tank molded in, have a integral gas shut-off. Some have a long plastic lever, some later models a short lever, both use the same pressure clamp style fitting with a rubber like washer underneath to form a liquid tight seal. This little round "washer" has 4 holes in it, 2 are for locating the washer, so it won't rotate when the shut-off is rotated, the other 2 holes form a inlet and outlet passage for the gas thru a channel in the rotating shut-off. Well, these washers age and then don't seal anymore. The Lawnboy parts store doesn't seem to have these. What do you guys do to fix this?
