Inspection
1. Release the lock tabs and lift the AIS air filter
(A,

2. Inspect the air filter and housing for cracks or
damage.
3. Remove the mounting screws and lift the air cut
valve (B,
Figure 99
) and the reed valve from the
AIS valve housing.
4. Inspect the reed valve and the air cut valve. Re-
place any component that is damaged.
5. Make sure the ports in the reed valve, air cut
valve and AIS filter are unobstructed. Clean them if
possible or replace the clogged component.
6. Inspect the air and vacuum lines for cracks or
signs of leaks. Replace any hose or pipe as neces-
sary.
7. Inspect the hose connections for signs of leaks.
8. Measure the reed valve height as shown in
Fig-
