Joseph-exactly what happened to me. Should have left it alone as it was not leaking before we replaced the 2 gaskets.

I have a SideWinder and it has worked well. I think a golf cart with appropriate hardware is the ticket.

Thanks for sending the SB Dean. We had seen it before and reinstalled per the instructions. I need to make sure we are using the correct crush washers though. And we had torqued to 65 ft lbs as well. Will try again!

Did the cable break or is it just bound up? If it’s bound up, the process is to remove it, hang it up from the ceiling and pour Kroil penetrating oil into it, until it’s leaking out the bottom. Let it stay there for several days before reinstalling.

Greetings Scott. I would suggest an email to our own 200 parts guru Mr. Dave Smith at davesf17@yahoo.com.

Paul-Harold has the solution!

Harold Settle did have those.

Paul, one of our members has been selling a replacement that is more secure and easier to read. Let me see if I can find the paperwork.

Stephen-Great to hear of your interest. Reach out to Dean Siracusa. He is the go-to and will know what planes might be available. Our owners are getting older and finding one off market may be the ticket.

Got it. Thank you Paul!

I feel like a dummy. What is the spool valve?
