Re: Cold Start Valve question

["ian" <e@sbbs.se>]

Wow, at last I can help!  ;-)
I just checked that on my car, pretty easy to test (unless I really screwed
up), follow the Bentley. In the absence of a Bentley, let me see if I can
remember (someone correct me if I'm wrong):
Disconnect the center wire from the distributor, connect it to ground (I
took a 10 gauge piece of wire with attached alligator clips on both ends
then connected the center distributor wire to it and the other end to the
battery ground terminal.  Take the cold start valve out, get a small glass,
put the valve in it.  Have someone turn the key, you should see gasoline
squirted out in spurts then the valve shouldn't drip after that.  If it does
it's bad (what I was hoping for, but alas it worked fine)
