Default Fuel shut off is leaking

Is there a way to repair my leaking shut off valve?
This is what it looks like.
Thanks.

Just replace it. Can't repair these cheap plastic fuel valves like you could the older metal types that had repair parts for them. Get a new one,don't trust a used one that could be worse than yours.

ok thanks.
I will try some local atv dealers and see what they have.
Didn't really want to wait weeks to get it fixed.

You'll pay tripple or more at dealers or small engine shops. You can get one from Amazon with 2 day shipping in a lot of cases.https://www.amazon.com/Polaris-Trail...X9ECTZ0A1NV18G

I wish that would work, they don't ship to Canada.
Others that do have much higher prices or over a month delivery.
It was worth checking though. Thanks.

Forgot about Canada and their high parts prices. Seems someone should have been able to work around that over the the years. Parts may get even higher if Trump dumps Nafta..or who knows,prices may become reasonable. We'll see soon enough.

There are predictions that our dollar will drop to 0.60 on the greenback. It is 0.75 now, so our prices are going up no matter what.
Also our governments are on the green kick again so everything goes up in price based on that.
(( i am not trying to start an argument if less carbon is important, I am just saying all our costs go up with the current way we try and fix it))
