For the uneducated....
Which way does the valve return to? Open or closed?
Am I right in saying:
If the valve sticks open, you'll miss mid-range (ie ideal for those 50mph overtakes in top) but not lose any top end.
If the valve sticks closed, you'll be fine up to about 6k revs and then you'll lose the top end.
I guess that the servo noise at start up is the valve closing, so it's default is open!
I've never listened for a servo noise, but not especially heard one over the fule pump - should it be obvious?
Perhaps now the bike has done 70k I had better think about am exup service. I'll look at the state of the bolts and decide then!
