Default Gas Valve?

Need a valve for charging the starter gas in my jets. Dreamworks no longer carries them. Should work with Powermax, etc.
Any help?
Thanks,
Bob

Altacare carries a good one.
Here's the page.... http://www.altecare.com/behotecaccessories.htm

I have a couple of them, and am pleased with them.

Hey Bob,
Powermax triggers have been gone for quite some time; Powermax itself difficult to acquire these days. We have one still available for propane, standard green bottles, which works just as well for ignition on propane start engines. We just typically eliminate the onboard start tank and initiate ignition right off the bottle.

Thanks for the replies, everyone!
I'm up at Denali National Park flying for Denali Air. The computer wifi has been screwed up for awhile so I haven't been able to compute consistently for a bit.
Thanks to Paul, I have a valve coming.
Will certainly consider converting to kero-start in the future (2 JetCats already done)
Again, THANKS
Bob
