Re: [DML] Warm-up Regulator?

[David Sontos <dsontos@xxxx>]

Kevin,
The Warm Up Regulator, aka Control Pressure Regulator, is one of the easiest
parts to replace on the engine. Located on the left valve cover it is attached
with two socket head bolts. Label all of the hoses first and then remove them.
CAUTION: The two gas lines on top of the regulator will be under pressure. Use
some method to contain the small amount of gas that will leak out when you
loosen the bolts. It is advisable to keep a fire extinguisher handy when
breaking open the fuel system. Remove the two bolts holding the Warm Up
Regulator to the valve cover and lift off. Assemble the new regulator and hoses.
Make sure to use new copper washers on the fuel hoses on top. There are no other
adjustments required.

The "Idle Speed Regulator" is the black cylinder about the size of a frozen
orange juice can on the left top side of the engine.
