Carb heater valve Q

[SRX7]

Mine is very stiff. I notice there is a screw ontop and below.I think one maybe a drain or bleeder not sure.
My question is to turn the knob on or off do you simply turn it or do you have to remove a screw top one or bottom one?

The valve will move more freely when cool, ...once the engine warms up turning will be next to impossible without a rag and channel locks. Before cranking up your machine decide wether or not you need heated carbs and adjust accordingly.

Well I think mine is seized up cause it won't budge

Mine is also very stiff or hard to turn but it's always been like that,but i usually have it on all of the time anyway

I run mine on all the time couldn't tell you if it hard to turn or not

I turned mine off and disconnected all the hoses to the carbs. The only sled I had carb freezing problems with were the old Phazer and the only thing would happen is the choke would freeze open in the morning. Nothing a little ISO didn't fix.Hot carbs hinder power........SRXtreme
