Help with fuel valve

Not EXACTLY an Elan question but someone out there may be able to help. My S4 has an electric fuel pump and the pictured regulator valve. The valve is leaking; fuel is getting through the diaphragm, filling the upper chamber and escaping up the adjuster thread. Replacing the diaphragm would be a five-minute job but I don't even know what brand the valve is. Does anyone out there recognise it?

It's a Holley. They fail often!
This is the rebuild kit. Use the low pressure spring. You will need to readjust it after you replace the diaphragm and spring. It's likely that yours has the high pressure spring turned way down. Most people fail to realize there are two versions, or they buy a pump a regulator kit, which comes with the high pressure version.

It's an easy job. Good luck!
