Would a 2.5 PV cause a rich mixture at idle or light cruise when a 5.0 PV (vacuum 10.5) is what should be used?

Is there an easy way to check if it is ruptured or is a fixture needed?

If you have a mighty-vac hand vacuum pump there is an adapter that will fit the power valve. Make sure it seals to the PV. If not,pucker up. You can suck on it but it's NOT tasty. There is a fixture available but it's not cheap.

turn the idle mixtrue screws in to lightly seated & if it still idles that would point to a ruptured PV
