Dang it. My C46517 has a fuel leak. It's either in the fuel line or the shut-off valve. The fuel line is easy enough to change. Anyone out there replace the shut off valve?

No nut inside. The petcock just screws out after loosening the jamb nut on the bottom of the tank.
Check the jamb nut to be sure it is tight. Also the gasket under the nut. Be sure the tank does not have a crack - they can develop at the petcock attachment.
Some petcocks can be disassembled. If yours is one be sure the two tiny Phillips screws are tight on the plate behind the lever.
The cost of the new fuel valve from Champion was something like $5. For $5, it's not worth trying to rebuild the valve.
