Check Valve

  1. Warm up engine until normal operating temperature is reached. Disconnect air pump outlet hose from check valve or from air by-pass valve.
  2. Slowly increase engine speed to 1500 RPM while holding hand over open connection. Check for exhaust leak (back-pressure escaping through check valve). If there is exhaust gas leak at this point, replace check valve.
