Manny - I take it there are cables still attached to it?
If there are, the cables may be incorrectly adjusted - they are probably too tight.
Pat's web-page contains decent info on setting the exup cables to the correct tensions

Another possibility is that the actual exup valve has warped slightly and is sticking in position. Loosen the end plate off a good bit and see if the valve then rotates freely.
My valve was sticking when I tightened down the end plate. It had suffered from mild warping and had to be bent back into shape. Additionally, a bit of metal on the end tab had to be filed away for smooth rotation and its now a touch loose, resulting in a bit of rattling /squeaking. But at least the noises tell me its still working....
Are you getting the 7k tacho error?
