It's annoying that some of these little check valves are $40+.
You could claim that I didn’t look still into these .
And the 5 or so one-way valves were still one-way, too.

What is correct clearance for reed valves ... What is correct clearance for reed valves in my 1983 15hp Johnson?
Or, do they just lie flush against the leaf valve assembly plate?

Hi ,
We all know the 2 electro valves that fail in the Al4 autos. The pressure modulation and the convertor lock up valves. The early type were superceded by an improved type, different brand, in the early 2000s. Citroen seems to pretend to customers,...
