Default Steering control valve, Saginaw valve

Hey guys,
I am having trouble with my steering, I think it is the steering control valve. Merc doesn't have parts for it any more. It is
called a Saginaw valve, they switched to a brazil valve. Any body have a Saginaw valve they would want to sell ?

Thanks
John

That would be great Dave, Thanks for your help. I had it out on Thursday , still not fixed. From the info I have gathered ,
I think there is a problem in the check valve circuts, but you can't service them. So I'm looking for another valve.

John is this what you need? Just removed from 89 Baja to add external steering. Have no idea what is is worth. Pay shipping and pay me enough to buy a beer or two and it is yours.

Irish, Sport280 shipped the parts this morning, I just hope this fixes the fun governor. I would like to be able to use the extra 15 mph for your run. Thanks for all your help. And thank you Fred.
