Dunno about a good place to get a replacement, but I just had to do the one on our D2-5J as we found an old wine cork being held to the float arm by a rusty cotter pin. 😮 So we whittled down a new cork into a nice rectangular shape and attached with light copper wire. Worked great for a couple days then the new cork swelled up from the new gas until it wouldn't move inside the bowl. So we made another cork and this time coated with POR-15 before attaching to float arm. Works great and is now fuel-proof!

Not sure what the part number is for your 5J but for my 4U it is a 9B4922 still available from Cat. about $11.00
