Fig. 71 Thermactor II pulse air valve test
TESTING
1.
Check to see that air flows freely through air cleaner or silencer to pulse air valve.
2.
Check all hoses, tubes, and pulse air valves for leaks.
3.
Disconnect hose at air cleaner side of pulse air valve and connect tester T75L-9487-A or equilvalent to valve, Fig. 71. A 6 inch length of hose,
clamped at either end, should be used between tester and valve.
4.
Squeeze bulb as flat as possible, then release it. Bulb should remain flat for at least 8 seconds. If not, valve is defective.
5.
If tester is not available, disconnect hose as in Step 3 and blow air through valve toward exhaust manifold side, then attempt to suck air back
through valve, the valve is defective.
