INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
Use care to prevent accidentally dropping the valve into the cylinder. A rubber band, tape or string wrapped around the end of the valve stem
will prevent this from happening but will still allow enough travel to check the valve for binds.
If the valve has been damaged, it will be necessary to remove the cylinder head for service.
1. Remove air pressure from spark plug adapter. Inspect the valve stem for damage. Rotate the valve and check the valve stem tip for eccentric
movement during rotation. Move the valve up and down through normal travel in the valve guide and check the stem for binds.
2. If the condition of the valve is satisfactory hold the valve closed and apply the air pressure within the cylinder.
