July 1: So it begins. Don't worry, this is not in the correct legal jurisdiction!

Anti-Backfire Valve

Check valve by removing large hose from valve which connects to air pump. With finger placed over open end of hose (not valve), accelerate engine and allow throttle to close rapidly. Valve is operating properly if a momentary rushing noise is audible.
