[I'm in need of an MC Deceleration Fuel Cut off Valve for some
experimentation, anyone have an extra one they'd like to donate to science?
Located in the top of the airbox.

Speaking of .. I'd sure like to know how to determine if mine is good or
bad.  Do these go bad?

I enquired of this a little while back.  I took the less expensive "try it"
route first, and replaced the Oxy sensor.  Wouldn't you know, my fuel
consumption got worse.

I still get a little popping on deceleration, mostly when I just get of the
gas (throttle shuts).  Problem existed prior to performing major overhaul
with the new turbo, manifold, bypass, etc.

I hate to replace things, only to find I wasted my time and money.  The car
runs fairly well now, but I am still annoyed by the long cold startup
(about 5-7 seconds of cranking)  and the deceleration exhaust popping ( not
a backfire).
