I have a 60 Electra and am rebuilding my Carter 4 barrel (its a 2982). I was doing fine until I took off the thermostatic hot idle air valve and wanted to clean it and ended up bending it so it would not stay in the closed position anymore ou: I know....what an idiot !!! The manual says it is non adjustable/repairable ! I bent it back as good as I could and now wonder how badly I screwed it up ? Is this an essential part of the carb ? Can i test the opening of the valve in hot water ? At what temp ? Here is a picture of it.... Looks ok.... but at what temp should it open/close ?
