Is there anything in particular to know about cleaning my power valves? I am a rookie at this so just looking for a little help, i dont have a service manual yet, but just looking around. Any help would be great. Thanks

Unbolt the housing's.
Slide out the PV's, be gentle. sometimes they are really stuk
Scrape off the hard gunk (if it's there) with a plastic scraper. (dont knick the valve)
Use a carb cleaners, or any type of cleaner to remove all the oil and caked on crap.

Re-install them and adjust them using the info in the TY Tech section. (just to make sure they are stil adjusted properly.

Thats the easy way, keeping them in the housing and conected to the cable.
 
I soaked mine in GM product called cleens, worked good still needed some elbo greese but ,and i used oven cleaner on my polaris rmk 800 valves warm valves in oven 200 then spray on cleaner worked well too , switched to synthetic for both sleds hope this helps keep them cleaner
