Oil Metering Valve Repair
The repair kit has been packed with all the parts to rebuild your oil metering
valve. The parts may differ in detail from what you have in your valve. This
is due to changes and to the unavailability to the parts over the decades.
1. Disconnect the copper fuel lines from the valve inlet and outlet and
overflow using 2 wrenches, then remove the valve from the mounting
bracket, do not remove the bottom fitting or the overflow fitting from the
valve. Unscrew the two retaining screws holding the valve top to the body.
Note that the valve top and the valve knob are attached.
2. Remove the float from the float pin; remove the needle from the seat
fitting. Using a 5/16ths socket, remove the seats fitting from the valve top
casting; however leave the copper washer
in
.
3. Remove the fuel inlet fitting only and clean or replace the stainless screen
behind the inlet fitting. Clean the threaded aperture in the top casting to
remove any dirt or buildup. Perhaps use a pipe cleaner to clean the path from
the inlet hole to the seat fitting aperture.
4. Remove and replace the viton ‘o’ ring on the valve stem, and clean the
stem groove. Clean out the stem guide in the bottom of the valve housing
and the overflow tube.
