Check the check valve?

Guy,

I presume you have the fuel strainer on the front engine opened up or perhaps one of the lines to the electric fuel pump... if this is the case, when you turn the selector valve to 'OFF' are you noticing any difference in the amount of fuel coming out? If it's a small amount, rather than a gusher, it could signal trouble with the check valve that's just below the manifold on the pilot's side of the fuselage below the arm rest rather than the selector valve itself. Something to check on.

It's a good idea to have a set of cap-plugs on hand to seal-off the lines when you're working with oil or fuel lines.
