Leaking Ewarts Tap

[Lowbarn]

I need to fix my leaking tap.

Does anyone know of a decent secondary tap I can fit in place of my current offering?

The original tap leaks out of the carburettor.
I’ve stripped the tap once and cleaned it out, I think it’s still using the cork seals.
I’ll have another go using viton seals.
If that doesn’t work I need a decent tap.
Thanks.
Richard.

A good plumbing merchant would stock a female to male ball valve that you could be installed under the original if you insist on keeping that and then your copper tail attached, or extended to the carburettor

I tried viton seals and by the time I squashed them up to seal I couldn't move the tap, cork seals are available from A 7 components just do not let them dry out.

On my RN I made some replacements from nitrite bonded cork from a local engineering supplier,I used something like 1/8 sheet and just used 3 or 4 from memory to get the length needed. I tried O rings put couldn’t get them to work.
