Fuel Selector Repair

[andya]

where did you obtain the detent washer, I had a heck of a time finding one back in the mid 90's

Univair had them a few years ago. I was saving the parts for when the job was absolutely necessary.

If you buy some fuel lube, share it, there is noway that one will never use up the whole can in your life time!!!

Unless, you are super Steve, ( and super Rickcaro, but he uses it for something else)

What are the thoughts on EZ Turn fuel lube vs the old Parker fuel lube?

I installed the Univar selector, very nice.

Bolt in, very smooth operation.

5 oz tube of fuel lube should be in your tool box if you have the original valve. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalo...?clickkey=9406

What do you want for your Maule valve ??? Im in the middle of my annual and was going to take all apart and lube, but might just convert..... Tom

Mounting the fuel valve bracket per SWPC drawings. Also using the Trimmer stc. Bought a Maule valve. The selector has both, right and left. No OFF. Turns out the salvage aircraft I bought the valve out of also had a separate cable shut operated shut off valve. So how to make this Maule valve work for the Trimmer stc? Turns out Maule added one little part.
So... The three differences between the original Piper valve and the Maule valve is the travel limiter, longer shaft and an extra hole. The OEM piper valve can be converters into a R, L, Both and Off by adding another hole.

If it is easy as adding one more hole, i wonder why piper didn't do that from the factory?
