 Posted: Sun Nov 05, 2006 7:01 pm Post subject: Fuel Selector Valve Operation |
 |
|
I have a stock selector valve. Fuel lines were installed by the book, expecting that the lever would operate pointing upward. i.e. up and left for left tank, up and right for right tank. I expected that it would also work with it pointing down and left or right. Well, I only get good fuel flow with it pointing down/left and down/right. I thought the design was simply two tunnels in the valve shaft in a "+" shape so that it would work in any of the four positions. Any idea why it didn't work pointing upward?

Deja,
I think the "pointer" end of the fuel slector valve that comes with Van's kits is supposed to filed down (not totally sure though). The longer "handle" end becomes your handle AND pointer. Of course, I have an Andair valve and am not totally sure if this is correct.

This is correct on the Van's valve. You need to file down the point and use
the arm as the pointer. You have Left Right Off Off, starting from forward
left and working clockwise.
Do not archive.
