- Start engine and set speed at 3000 RPM with throttle. Quickly release throttle and note speed when current stops flowing to terminal. It should be 1050-1250 RPM. Restore all connections to original location.
- Detach electrical coupler from coasting valve solenoid. Remove coasting valve-to-air cleaner hose from air cleaner. With engine running, hold finger over end of hose. No air suction should be felt.
- Apply battery power to disconnected coupler. Air suction should now be felt at hose. If coasting valve does not respond as indicated, replace it.
