Back to googling to find the next easiest thing to check... hoping it's not worn seals. Eric PS: seeing a picture of the valve was a big help- as soon as I saw the picture I recognized it... http://shop.air-intake-system.com/ho..._45532nov.html It was on top of one of the branches btw the "carb" area and the crank case with a tube running from almost directly below up beside it then making a 180 degree turn to go right over top of the valve. Just pull the tube up and off the valve, unscrew, clean and replace. Eric |
