98 srx power valve question

[trapow33]

This is my first year w/ the srx 700 and the power valves. One of the valves is spitting a little oil. Is this a problem? What maintanence is needed on these valves and how often. I also noticed that the rpm's climb to 3200 when I idle, sometimes. When it tries to engage the clutch, it dropps back to 2800.

spitting oil wont hurt just messes up your engine where is it leaking out
of the weap hole(bottom) or the end of the pv houseing by the cable??

should be pulled out and cleand atleast every season if not twice,then re-
adjusted.

not sure on your idle, maybe vac leak..

thank you, it's spitting at the housing by the cable. It's not much, though. It's been an expensive year fixing the yami's and I'm hoping to get through the season without any more major expenditures.

easy and cheap fix, you'll need #20,23,27 and 31,and all your leaks
will stop. You can re-use #18
