Check Valve

Disconnect air supply hose at check valve and run engine at 1500 RPM. Place hand near check valve and check for backflow of exhaust gases.

NOTE: Do not confuse backflow with pulsations of air intake at low engine speeds.

Also check valve for carbon deposits, damage or deterioration. Replace valve if defective.
