Interesting piece of hardware.

Re: Interesting valve

Wonder how much it weighs. Just replaced the fuel valve. The old one seemed to weigh a ton. I'm wondering if the weight is what caused the cracks in the weld.

Lloyd,
Would you give me a source for the "stock" one? Mine has been reworked and is "OK" for now, but I haven't been able to find a source for a replacement.

Someplace it says that this valve is lightweight.

I just rather like the looks of it and suspect it is pretty good (read modern) technology. Maybe even resistive to ethanol.

Yeah if I replaced all the fuel hardware on mine with lightweight stuff it would probably save 15 lbs. Plumbing looks like it was assembled by a steam locomotive factory.

Re: Interesting valve

I don't have a source. An IA friend gave me a replacement and a person who owed me some money installed it under his supervision.
