pvc valve

ok i noticed that my right valve cover it smokes a little while running so i took off the breaker and noticed there was no suction so i ripped some of the foam out of the breather so it would breath easier but then i noticed my carb isn't sucking any air from that line...its the blue hose on the front of the carb

Re: pvc valve

Did you check for vacuume at the end of the hose or at the carb?

Re: pvc valve

When u say right V/C...do you mean right from the drivers seat or right when looking at the front of the truck?

NVM...just re-read your OP. Are you getting any suction from the pass. side V/C when you pull the filter off?

Re: pvc valve

Pull the filter offf the other side and see if the smoking stops. If it does..replace the filter on the pass. side.

Re: pvc valve

I've seen those breathers not have the hole punched out and will not flow any air.
