fuel regulator disassembly?

[LaGrasta]

As explained in my intro post, I'm refurbishing a 10,000 mile V11 that hasn't been started in a decade. I removed the circlip on the regulator, but damn if I can take it apart, is there a trick?

No the reg should come out. I's going to be hanging up on an old oring.

Curiosity killed the cat . What are you looking for inside the regulator ?

Stale gas gue

Did you get this to come apart ? This regulator is at the end of the fuel supply , so it maintains the fuel pressure @ a constant # . If it stops / stops up the pressure goes to the max the pump will produce .

 When you get this together/fixed/running , use non-ethanol fuel only .

That's a wonderful sentiment, but not really applicable in much of the country, or a meaningfully long voyage.

I soaked the parts in simple green (smart and final brand). Everything came out clean and I blew them out with air. I could not get it apart so I’ll see if there any problems before forcing anything. Thx for your feedback

After removing the cotter pin, it is necessary to remove the lower part by force. Nothing holds it in, only sealing o-rings.
There is a filter, I recommend cleaning it.
