Overrun Valve:





1. Remove air filter covers and elements.
2. Block overrun valve inlet openings with masking tape.
3. Start engine.
4. Note idle speed and remove tape from one side.
5. If idle speed changes, valve is leaking.
6. Retape and repeat test on opposite side.
7. Replace valves as needed.
