Subject:FI Aux Air Regulator question
From:Mike Lawrence
Date:Fri, 29 Nov 2002 13:35:12 -0800

Hello, I have an 81 westy & I,m rebuilding the engine. While I was
checking the pieces I noticed that the Aux Air Regulator when very
cold is bearly open. What I have read is that when cold it should be
open & close when warm.
My qusetions are:
1. when cold how big of an opening should there be?
2. when warm does it close all the way so no air passesor does a
little air pass through?
3. is the voltage to it 12 volts to the heating element?
Here is a pic that shows how open the valve is. I just brought it in
from the garage where it was 25.

I placed the Aux Air Regulator over the floor register for my furnace
& the valve closed enough so I could not see through it but when I
blew in it same air still gets through.
Do I need to replace it or is it OK??
Mike
