Source for gas tank valves for ms180

[friendlywithbears]

My ms180 has been leaking gas for a while and it just got a whole lot worse last month. It looks like it's the duckbill valve on the tank, and the oil tank also looks to have a pretty constant leak so I figured I'd replace both.

My dealership can't seem to get them shipped in to them no matter how many times we order some, so I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation for where I can pick some up.

Seems like a simple 99 cent part, and I've seen there are a lot of aftermarket/knockoffs out there that are a very different design than the OEM ones, so any help would be appreciated!

You can find them on ebay or other places. It`s not difficult.

If you have real problems locating the duck bill vent on its own....You can often find a duck bill vent in some cheep petrol tank caps so you could pop it out and use it ..most are cheep if a generic part rather than OEM .

Mostly what I've found is either a different design from what's in the tank, or very expensive OEM style parts.

I'll give the alternate design ones a go I guess, thanks.

All you need is the same diameter to fit the hole. Design doesn't matter in function - Air comes in, fuel or oil doesn't go out.

Thanks, will give some of the "fits 170/180" valves a try.

You guys could have just told me the Chinese aftermarket ones came with sweet stickers. Screw OEM

That translate to "Best wishes cat".

I'm not fluent but I was assuming something like "WARNING: This sticker adds 5 horsepower."
