Leaking Duck Bill Valve - Try This Fix

[Vintage Engine Repairs]

Hey guys,

I recently had a leaking duck bill valve and thought I’d do a short video on how, quite often, you can remove them, clean them of varnished fuel and reset their shape. I hope the video helps!

Duckbill cost you 10 bucks over there?

I replace alot of those and keep on hand. 1 buck or so here.

Yep that’s the cost of an oem Stihl, of course I wouldn’t have to pay the postage shown below, but that’s the cost. I can order a pack of knock-off’s from china, it’s not so much the cost as it is the delivery times in Australia. Waiting 2 weeks for a part to be delivered within the country or 8+ weeks from china is the killer and you can never have everything you need on hand. That’s why, where possible, I’ll save / reuse what I can

Waiting 2 weeks for a part to be delivered within the country or 6 weeks from china is the killer and you can never have everything you need on hand.

Thats why for you. You dont buy oem at ebay. Always jacked up prices.

I bet your local dealer only 3 bucks or so £2.75

Yes, more expensive in New Zealand, sadly things are very expensive here thanks to our govt...
We export goods overseas and the places we export to get the goods pay cheaper prices than we pay in the shops.
