Unfortunately, unless you still have an original on/off valve, you can't simply "lap" the stem on repo valves because of their construction. They either hold fuel back or leak and as far as i know, cannot be "rebuilt" with available kits. If someone has found a way to lap repo valve stems to seal again, I'd sure like to know about it. I have a half dozen leaking expensive repos that didn't last very long before they started leaking. And a couple were valves touted by the national vendor in his catalog as being high quality and leak-proof. Hmmmmm....
