Alternate Source For Duckbill Valve?

[SteveSr]

Are you trying to fix a trimmer gas cap?

Several actually... Now if I could find a source for the cap gasket I'll be set!

The newer version cap is no good?

I think it is even available aftermarket.

It's good but too expensive. I work as a volunteer for a local non-profit trail club with limited resources. Just about every trimmer has a leaky cap by the time I get it to rebuild. Why spend $20 on a new cap when a duckbill is $1.25 (Walbro price if it is the correct one)?

I think it is even available aftermarket.

I am not a fan of aftermarket parts especially ones with rubber parts in contact with fuel of fuel vapors.

You must be privileged to live in the Stihl low cost region! Stihl mid-Atlantic is extremely proud of their parts! That is where the $20 price comes from. It is even worse from the local Ace/Town & Country Hardware stores. They are 50% OVER Stihl DSRP on parts and accessory items.

I think I bought some Homelite duckbill valves which were ordered from Stens a couple of years ago..

So if you order one of these, and it is not "correct". Will you send it back, contest the transaction, and screw the seller?
