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.

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.
