  1. Disconnect air hose from by-pass valve (coming from check valve). Start and run engine at idle. Place finger over by-pass valve outlet. Air should be flowing out of valve.
  2. Quickly open throttle and release it. Air should stop flowing from valve outlet for about 3 seconds, then resume flowing. If air flow does react as described, replace air by-pass valve.
