Dear Don,
I have my PCV valve (Indigo crankcase system) off the carb, and when I blow into it BACKWARDS (i.e., DOWN, toward the carb end) air blows through freely. Does that mean my valve is shot? I thought this was a one way valve...the other way!
When I blow the other direction, (UP, from the carb toward the manifold) the air goes through, but is very restricted.
If it is shot, how unusual is that after only 2 seasons use?
Any advice appreciated!
