DISASSEMBLY

Air Suction Valve (1982–87 only)

1. Remove the three screws, and separate the control valve assembly, seat, and reed valve cover.
2. Separate the reed valve assembly by pulling it and its gasket from the inside of the valve cover.
3. Remove the O–ring from the control valve assembly.
4. Now, inspect the valve parts as follows:
   1. Apply vacuum to the vacuum inlet. The valve should retract fully. Release the vacuum. The valve should extend fully.
   2. Check the O-ring for cracks or other damage.
   3. Inspect the reed valve gasket for damage. Then, clean the reed valve in a safe, non-volatile solvent and inspect it for any damage such as waviness, cracks or dents, or rust.
5. Replace parts that are damaged, reassemble the valve in reverse order, and reinstall it.
