Title: Air Cut-off Valve
Post by bassman29 on 10/09/04 at 20:12:19

I've never seen this part talked about as a backfire fix. Is there a possibility that it works?

I don't know. I've heard of it, but never known anyone to change that part. Why not buy it and see if it works?

I figured for $15 I'd give it a shot. As far as I can tell, there is no difference between the valve I received and the stock valve already in the carburetor. The accompanying spring was ever so slightly different (basically no cadmium plating) but functionally the same. I noticed no difference whatsoever in engine operation. I should note that after my rejetting and muffler/air filter replacements, I have very little of the pop on shifting and never on shutdown but that is the same regardless of the air cutoff valve used. Maybe it helps in a stock bike but I seriously doubt it. As I said, my visual inspection came up with no difference in the valve. Bottom line: don't waste your money.
