Hard starting, fuel return valve spring

[Taz]

Seems I am having hard starting problems again. I noticed it this weekend so Sunday I pulled out the fuel return check valve and found that the spring was compressed again. I stretched it back out to 0. 55" but I'm afraid that the spring has lost it's elasticity and strength.



Does anyone know a source for this small spring? The dodge dealership wants to sell me the whole bango bolt/check valve, for like $80. But if I have to do it I'm going to buy one, got to have my truck running right now. Vette is down for carb rebuild



Thankx for the help!

They have the whole check valve?



I'll give them a call on the tele tomorrow. I need that part bad.





I don't think that anything else could be wrong with it, it's acting the way it did before when the spring was compressed.

Don't forget to have them send you a few seals/gaskets. Think Piers only charged a buck or two. My old ones where getting brittle and cracking.
