Because I have never seen one close up and off the engine, I cannot say if it is repairable. If I were in your shoes, I would go ahead and take if off and see if can be disassembled and cleaned up and "repaired" if necessary.

Good Luck!

Again --- like he said (^) --- but you KNOW you've already gotta get a new one --- what''s the grief of taking it apart and attempting a fix if it is a slam-dunk for replacement anyway? I say go for it.

On the 2nd Thursdays each month --- I drive up to Canada to bring illegal aliens to Montana - I could hand-carry a part TO you if you like.

Stand behind the Canadian-side guard shack north of Good Grass, MT., and wear a pink flower in your lapel so I can recognize you.

You can try flushing it, but if that doesn't work then you will need to replace it.
By the way, there are several versions of these valves. Be careful when ordering a new part.

You can try to repair it. If you can't, go online to see if there are second-hand ones that are cheaper.

I just replaced mine a couple hours ago, it was still working but squeaking, when you look inside there’s a plunger and a shaft that goes up and down, there’s three Torx screws that hold it together. Whether it can be repaired or not I have no idea.
