I think it's on this site that someone noticed it's the same as a Holley/Edelbrock/Carter/Motorcraft part. Made me blow the dust off my Holley track box in search of one for an 066, sure enough I had 3 in the box, I probably have another handful in the Holley box in our race trailer.

The marking is probably just a die number, same factory... different injection molding die.

Yes, they suck to get pulled through; but like many things, a little lube goes a long way.

I bought some a month or so ago for Carter/Edelbrock and posted about them on another thread.  Theyre identical specs as far as I measured. They tear as easy as the as the Stihl part too!! Lol

Trying to figure out a no leak tank vent to retrofit the older grub screw type on older saws. Found a R/C valve that works for a while then the gas eats the flapper material.  Anyone know of a similar sized check valve that's gas proof??

Excellent Jim I did not know such a thing existed that small.   Sounds like it will work well on a chain saw.

I wonder how it would do on the Poulan micro series saws with the long fuel lines.   It might help keep the fuel in the line.

Jim, thanks.  Looked online for a long time and missed those.  Sullivan makes a nice check valve but couldn't find any data on fuel compatibility. Echo, shindaiwa look good too...

The Sullivan one is intended for "smoke" oil. It is kerosene and petroleum oil compatible. It has an aluminum case.

Don't know about ethanol?
