Or you can use a Vac.Pump.They actually make a P/Valve tester.But,you can usually see if they are Blow!
Hope this HELPS?

So help me understand the reasoning behind that move??......I guess for racing applications....which this is a bracket engine.
Atleast I know now that its not a blown power valve.....but not sure what this means about the idle issue....
Thoughts?
Maybe something to check.

Going to purchase a temp gun to check the exhaust temps on each cylinder just to see if we have anything funny going on. Those guns have become really resonable in price and a quick way to check individule cylinder issues.

....the other thing I was thinking...if this has an electric fuel pump....chk the pressure at the carb...should be 7-7.5 lbs....if it is higher adjust the regulator down...
