Fuel Selector Valve Repair
by Patrick DeStefano » Fri Oct 27, 2017 2:52 pm
Needing some TLC.
FIRST on the list is the fuel selector valve.
Service manual casually mentions removing valve for service.
I don't see any shut offs in the parts manual.
Is this practical without draining the tanks?

I just changed my selector valve in myb 250. I personally think it's best to de-fuel.
The job is extremely simple.

Not too bad a job - mostly a hassle dealing with the interior.
At first thought I had bad lube, it was so pastey, but valve worked slick once reassembled and fuel refilled.
Now to get those new wires run for the nav/strobe wingtip lights.........
