Would using a wire wheel hurt the power valves to clean them . The carbon was very heavy last year . They look the same this year I think I took the coating off
dont use a wire wheel ....you will destroy the coating ..a razor blade is the best way ..i got a video on how to clean them i am gonna post it and ill throw up a link for you ...

They can be recoated!
polairis valves are made from stainless steel ..with no coating on them ....yamaha valves are alumnuim with a special anodized coating ......as far as recoating them yes it can be done but i still have yet to find the coating yamaha uses everything i have tryied so far does not hold up to the abuse these valves go thru ......
here is a link to a video on cleaning power valves http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEATrpSNLNo
Intersting, Almost like trying to crack a code. Just a shot in the dark, have you tried Dupont's Teflon spray?YA*AM*A*HEAD said:

Well thanks for the info . I did find some for 100 for all 3 I wonder if reg. Anodiz would work till I get new ones
i have tryird teflon with a cermanic and it olny lasts a season or so ..and i have tryied regular anodizing and no luck there either what ever they use is some tuff stuff still looking for a coating that holds up
