Thermo Valve = $$$

[smestas]

It seems that I busted this guy durring my motor drop. I just finished finding the part (thermo valve) in the Pelican store and it is over 100.00 bucks. OUCH!!!! While this is probably a great price for the item I just am having a hard time spending that amount for a small plastic part. Thes kind of things make me want to switch to webers and just deal with the SMOG police.

Is there a way to bypass or remove this from the CIS system? What are the pros and cons?

used parts...I am sure you can get one off an old CIS for 20.00

I'm running without a thermovalve, so it can be done. Without the thermovalve in place, the WUR recieves engine vacuum as soon as the engine starts. This causes the cold running mixture to be a bit too lean. I adjusted my WUR's cold start mixture a little richer then spec, and my cold start is fine. Just add a vacuum line connector in place of the thermovalve so there are no vacuum leaks.

Or buy a used one...

Thanks for the replies!

I think I'll just go without untill I can find an affordable replacement.

Is the 1980 SC [USA] supposed to have a thermovalve because mine doesn't?

No. Only K-basic CIS. As far as SC's, that's USA '78-'79, and euro '78-'83.
