Hi all. My IP is leaking from just below the torque screw. It's coming from the fitting under the red plastic cover shown in the pics. From what I have researched, it's the guide stud which holds down the metering valve assembly?? I'm sure there's a seal on the guide shaft but from what I can see in the stanadyne drawing, you can't pull the guide stud without things coming apart on the inside? Is that right? I guess my question is, can I pull the guide stud and try to re-seal or is it holding a bunch of other parts in place, that will come apart if I take the guide stud out? I'm hesitant to pull of the red plastic cap as it's pretty brittle and I know it will break if I do that and don't want to screw anything up. Thanks in advance.

 

never seen that before ... .. gonna go look at mine now .... gots me curious .
