Thanks You can see if there is a seal kit here: https://lasar.com/seal-kitsYou can also call Lasar and see if they will rebuild it.

lamont337 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 They rebuilt mine for about $170 a few years ago. Worth every penny, they’ve done it a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxrpilot Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 DMax rebuilt mine for a bit less. It's a common and easily fixed issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadrach Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 If time is an issue, order the seal kit and have them installed locally. It's not a complex device and other than seals there's little else to fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I have the same in my 64C. I had the same issue. My mechanic sent mine to LASAR and they fixed it. Sent back and works like factory new even now 3 years later...

Yetti Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 You can put a drop of engine oil on the selector shaft. Rebuild is the best option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will seal and last forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prior owner Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 I use it on fuel and brake system pipe thread fittings, but never on anything inside the brake system... As far as fuel valves, I’d use it sparingly, if at all, inside a fuel valve- that stuff will not dissolve. If a clump comes loose, it’s going to travel somewhere!

bavareze Posted January 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 so this is ez turn lube is pretty much for the internal parts of the fuel valves as well as tappered/threaded fittings, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Fuel Lube (older version of the same stuff) on my selector valve about 10 years ago. my valve got hard to turn and was leaking. When I put new seals in it the old Fuel Lube had deteriorated into a white crusty powdery substance. I cleaned it all off and put it back together with Aeroshell #7. That was about a year ago and it still turns smooth as silk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
