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.

Saw that and appreciate that.

But for sustainability I am interested in a source of parts for these valves.

Yes, it would great if a company name or a link could be provided to where these selector valve overhaul parts are available. Just stating that they are available is not particularly helpful.

And I saw the one on Ebay awhile back, but it looks so corroded I decided not to mention it.

I was able to purchase check-balls and springs from iwantcessnaparts.com. The gasket is another story. Although if you search this website for “fuel selector” a lot of good discussions. Plus, one guy posted info about a supplier for the cork gaskets.

I took my fuel selector to Quality Aircraft Accessories in Ft Lauderdale. They sent both the fuel selector and the duke pump to their Tulsa facility. The Tulsa facility sent the fuel selector to another shop and I got a call from QAA Tulsa that says the other shop can't touch it. So far I'm stuck...no parts. The pump overhaul is $1,250. No fuel selector diagrams so no-one will open the fuel selector to inspect or repair. Thoughts?

I finally found a source for the fuel selector valve:
Fenix Aircraft Parts Inc.
Christian Baez
6750 N. ANDREWS AVE
SUITE 200
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL 33309
Tel (954) 440 1445

Within a few days I had the valve in hand and I exchanged for my valve. The part cost $1,410 with shipping. If you don't have an exchange valve for him it is another $1,000 for the core charge.

It came with an 8130. I asked where it came from and he simply said Nevada. No other information.

What shop name is on the 8130? Could we see a copy of it?

I wonder if he would've accepted that corroded Ebay valve as the $1000 core???
