I thought that my lack of rpms (4000@wot) might be a fuel problem and I am trying to get the antiphon valve off . Do I have to take the tanks out ? is in the elbow? where exactly is it ? I took the elbow off and it is connected to a pick up stick.
thanks for the help I am kinda stuck right now and don't want to go too far since i wannna hit the lake today |

Dan,
Unless someone has removed the anti, it's the fitting between the 90 on the tank and the fuel supply hose. |

Big thanks again .. glad i did not take the tank out. now that it is out does the valve come apart ? My plan was to soak it it in some carb cleaner.

That depends on how old it is and who's manufacture it is. Most will have the ball check pressed into the fitting especially the ones with the integrated hose barb. Take it off the hose, soak it and blow some compressed air through it. |
