The usual vendors have parts. Common wisdom is, unless you need to start in way below freezing on a regular basis, to simply disconnect and plug the flame start system. It can leak internally, dripping fuel that ends up thinning your engine oil. One day I will do what I say here and disconnect mine. Has not been leaking so far.

That's one of those parts that will eventually leak. There are two little O-rings inside the housing that need to be replaced. On my '88, it started to leak on my hot turbo. To remedy a temp fix, I shot some brake cleaner on the end, dried it, and jammed some RTV on the leaky end. That was some 2 years ago and it's still holding;-)
