Hot Idle Compensator (Non Comp. Controlled): Testing and Inspection
1. Ensure valve is in closed position when bimetal temperature is less than 145---160°F.
2. With valve closed, suck air through hose. If excessive air leakage is found, replace idle compensator as an assembly.
3. When bimetal temperature exceeds approximately 160°F, ensure valve is open. If not, replace idle compensator as an assembly.
