I'm chasing down a leak on my Austramax, I'm thinking it's coming from the base of the generator tube (26). There doesn't seem to be any sealing washer there can't see one on the parts diagram (?) Shall I try wrapping Teflon tape around it then assembling it, or any ideas? Cheers. I tried Teflon tape with no luck, I guess I'll try fine grinding paste - it's a compression joint. Would need to disassemble more to anneal it all.
Julian, you have sort of answered your own question. The flange on the bottom of the generator tube needs to be annealed. Also check for any cracks or deformities. When installing the generator tighten, loosen then rotate the generator 1/4 turn. Repeat a couple of times to reform the flange.
