Propane switchover valve fix?

One side of my propane switch over valve stopped working, anyone suggest fix? The “both” and “right” side does not work, the left side of switch works. It’s not the tank, checked that. Is it worth fixing or just buy a new one? Suggestions for manufacturing of a new one. Thanks in advance.

I just received my Marshall Excelsior MEGR-253 propane switch over valve, but I have not installed it yet. The mounting hole spacing LOOKS different but I won't know for sure until I make the change.

My OEM valve failed to switch over once (thankfully not on a cold night ) and that was enough.

Buy a new one. Marshall are fine and easily available. The one thing to take a close look at when replacing is the indicator; some can be very hard to see or differentiate when tripped over. The Marshall MEGR is pretty good IMO. I went from a Marshall to another Marshall so no problems with the fit.

These regulators have rubber diaphragms inside that will start to leak in time; especially if outdoors year round. Can't easily be fixed, and cheap to replace.
