140 Fuel Selector Replacement

Post by 6555 »

Hello All...My 140 fuel selector occasionally gets a bit sticky after the airplane sits for a bit. What is the recommended replacement selector that others have used in the past...Thanks

When this valve first came out not too many years ago it was apx. $144.

This is for the Left/Rignt/Off valve. If your's has a 'both' then perhaps some time with your A&P to try and service it.

A useful Neal Wright article if you haven't already found it...

Sierra Hotel Aero has an approved replacement valve in both configurations. https://www.sierrahotelaero.com/pma-sel ... alves.html Call for price...

If your problem is only that it gets hard to turn you might try disassembling it and applying a little "E-Z-turn" fuel lube. Might buy you 10 years or so. I think one of the Neal Wright articles may cover it.
