Power valve issue
-
@thechompster check for corroded connections or loose connections
-
@declan I did go over the connections the weekend. Some were a bit crappy so wire brushed them unless the connections are a bit dry. Didn't have any maintenance spray but will give them another clean now I have some. Would the servo make it go like that do you think?
-
@thechompster it’s possible the the teeth on the cogs may have snapped it worth taking a look
-
Forced the valve open while engine running and goes like stink top end. Have noticed since I done that and tuned the ignition off and on and start engine it starts to move as it should for a few revs then stops moving again. I'm taking a guess it's the solenoid?
-
@thechompster It's a motor on these. So could be the brushes.
Are you sure the valve isn't just gunked up.
Would be worth dismantling the assembly and cleaning it thoroughly.
-
@calum do you have a link for how to remove power valve at all?
-
@thechompster No, just take the two powervalve end caps off. The offside powervalve housing has a bolt to keep the two pieces together, make sure you don't lose the locating dowels as they're prone to falling out. You'll want to lubricate it with WD40.
-
@calum ok thanks for the help. With give it a go.
-
Took the exhaust off. A bit dirty in there but rotates easy enough. Goes through the cleaning process nice and easy so all I can do now is change the servo and hope it sorts it.
-
A friend had a faulty servo, sometime during a ride where the PV was open, it would leave it open. Other times just seem erratic. I believe the gears in the servo was toast.
-
@jens-eskildsen ok thanks mate. Very helpfull
Will try another servo then and see what happens. -
@thechompster just out of interest, what spark plug are you running??
-
@mitch_350z iridium spark plug
-
@thechompster does it have the resistor in it the 'r' in the spark plug type as this can cause issues with the operation of the valve
