Kai,
Hmmmm. Got me, never thought to look. I assume you mean the part
labeled "air bypass valve." It is the round black piece under the blower
that is protected by the heatshield. I seems to move in and out easily
enough. There does seem to be some carbon build-up under the blower at
that point. Kinda like the carbon around the sneeze valve until I
tightened her down a little more. (That was a while back). How do you
know if that bypass valve goes bad?
