In Reply to: Valves - what are the symptoms of bad valves? posted by DG on April 10, 1998 at 20:56:02:
For a quick check on a gas engine that is missing . While running it at full throttle , turn the ignition off while listening to exhaust . If you hear it sucking or wheezing irregular , it is the exhaust valves . The intake very seldom goes bad , This may not help you in your case but it may help someone else . Jack
