Sorry to hijack the post fellas but I came here to ask a question about this valve and lo and behold this thread was already here! So my question is, if you were to remove the thermostatic spring completely, would the valve then be in a position where the hot exhaust would be routed AWAY from carb at all times? Reason being, mine rusted and crumbled to dust when I touched it. I live in a warm climate so if this is the case I don't think I need to replace the spring.
