Hi All

I used up a cheap lip balm on the valve seats today. A quick wipe around
before closing the valves then a fair amount applied to the closed valves.

Not a drip in sight!

Thanks everyone.

The dump valve on my Nimbus 3 are leaking - one leaks about 10 litres
overnight, another 10 litres an minute, the others somewhere in
between.
I'm looking for help on how to go about sealing them better.

I will get some new springs manufactured to push the valves closed but I
would appreciate help on how to renew / refurbish or repair the existing
seals themselves.

I remember from an earlier similar thread that Peter Harvey UK
(Nimbus4) explained how he repaired leaks by using silicone to make a
new seat for the
dump valve. May be you can contact him or put your question on
