140 Fuel Selector Replacement
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...

Re: 140 Fuel Selector Replacement
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.

Re: 140 Fuel Selector Replacement
I emailed them about 2 months ago and they're not currently making those valves. Fortunately, I found an overhauled one on eBay and replaced it.

Re: 140 Fuel Selector Replacement
That's odd... They don't actually make the valve; they mostly just make the paperwork that makes it legal. I wonder where the chain broke?
