Fuel Selector Valve

[GAdams]

My left wing fuel selector valve is leaking. It functions normally. What options do we have? Can we reseal? Overhaul? Who and where can we get repairs on the valves done? A new valve, if they have them, is $3,750. I'm not doing that. This is a 1969 337D S/N 1094 the PN of the valve is 1426029-4 I believe the new part number is likely 1H12-3.

Give McFarlane a call. When I spoke with them last summer, they were working on the rebuild parts with the intention to rebuild them in house. Sounded like he was close last year.

I called mcfarlane today. They have 25 kits but not one for the 337.

All the parts are available for overhaul except the cork gasket. That’s where it leaks from. Make your own cork gasket and problem solved.

where are parts for overhaul available from? McFarlane?

making a cork gasket easy enough.

I have a valve that won't provide positive shut off.

There is one on ebay

I bough the eBay fuel selector valve and it shipped and arrived quickly. The problem is the valve is badly corroded and it will not move.

That’s a bummer. Maybe the valve can be soaked in oil to free it up
I bought the other BAD looking valve off ebay. Plan to do an autopsy on it to see what parts are in it, maybe create a parts list and sources. Of course already been established that the gasket will have to be self made.
Maybe check with Don Neiser at Commodore Aerospace? He just got me a couple hard to find items.
