  2. Start engine. Maintain engine speed at specified testing RPM. See DASHPOT TESTING RPM table. Plug Vacuum Transmitting Valve (VTV) hole with your finger. See Fig 1.
  3. Release throttle. Dashpot should be extended and dashpot setting RPM should be as specified. See DASHPOT TESTING RPM table. If idle speed is incorrect, adjust dashpot. See Fig 2.
  4. To check VTV operation, run engine at dashpot testing RPM for a few seconds. Plug the VTV hole with your finger. Release throttle. Uncover plugged hole.
