[TR] Anti-run on valve TR6

[Jim Bauder]

Jeffery,

I believe the 'anti run on' valve allows the throttle to close completely when
the ignition is turned off, thus shutting off any air through the carburetors
that might allow the engine to 'diesel' or run on. If your car never runs on or
diesels after shut down, (especially prevalent when these engines are hot!) then
there is no reason to keep the valve.

As a prelude to my question, I'll admit that I have taken off every piece of
gumment mandated smog devices. The air pump(which was at the point of seizure),
the gulp valve, the air injection manifold and the EGR valve.
I would hope that by setting this background you may more clearly understand the
nature of my question.


---- Has anyone on the list ditched their anti-run on valve?

I've always been puzzled by it's existence because it seems to me that it's very
existence indicates that it was engineered in a band-aid solution to a more
serious problem, ie: a poorly designed gumment mandated attempt at reducing
emissions.



I also wish to state that I still retain the last emission check that was done
on my car in 1998 in the state of Ohio and will gladly pay for a new emission
check when I get the Jezebel properly timed, carbs synched and the engine has
been run-in properly.

I would do this in the interest of settling some questions that appear
sporadically on the list.

Should someone have knowledge in this area, please feel free to contact me
off-list.

Thanks again for your support.

Yours in Triumph,


Jeffrey
