Not true. The monovalve insert was inspected and is undamaged. What else could it be? ACC works normally otherwise. I've seen them get waterlogged so the plunger doesn't move as it should. I've shaken them out, sometimes it helps. Anyway, simple test: Unplug the monovalve, and if you

I have an inquiry in at a Viking parts dealer to make sure I am looking at the right valve. I don't think the part that's wobbly is involved in the gas control itself; rather it's the child safety mechanism that is supposed to prevent the valve from turning out of the off position unless you are

There is also an additive known as DCA (decavitation additive) that can be added to the cooling system of any diesel engine to prevent decavitation. We used this regularly in any engine with liners, such as Detroit Diesels. NalCool is the best known brand, and once you add it, test strips are
