fording valve open or closed?

Post by Ryan »

How can I tell which way the fording valves are open or closed? my cables were never there and I dont know which way to leave the valves so the crankcase is not pressurized?

If I remember correctly, when the lever is in line with the valve = open

Lever is perpindicular to the valve = closed.

So under normal operating conditions the valve levers should be inline with the line?
