Leaking Ewarts Tap
#5
The tap you have looks to be the mid-1930s onward type, with the main plunger inside the firewall and the reserve outside. These taps can be reconditioned when their bores are badly worn, but it does mean reaming them out. Here's the complete solution. http://www.da7c.co.uk/technical_torque_a...l_tap.html
Did you know that the diameter of the corks can be adjusted to stop leaks? Look at the outer end of each plunger, and you will see a small slotted screw. Turning the screw compresses a plate against the end of the cork, so compressing it slightly.
