    ozzing EZ start?

    so the other day i was driving my jato which i have ran only 1 gallon through it so far ... when i was fillin it up with fuel i noticed that there was like grease leaking out of the EZ start houseing(the black plastic part). i wiped it off and tighted the screws but soon enough it came back. so i was wondering why it is happening and how to fix it or just whatever u no about i cause i dont want anything to seize up or anything like that so thanks!

    Do you mean the wand or the part on the truck?
    It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand.

    Lol, I hope he wasn't putting fuel in the ez-wand! But I had that problem before when my header wasn't tightly and correctly placed on the motor. Fuel began to leak down into my roto backplate and onto my one way bearing. You prolly just need to tighten the header to the motor and if it still happens seal it. Here's what I put on, if you need one.

    check the bolts on the header and also the tie wraps to make sure everything is tight, also check the coupler for a tear, clean up everything and see if you still have a leak, you can leave the dirt guard off for a tank or 2 to see if you found the leak and fixed it.
