HELP INFO NEEDED!! WITH PICS...
Looking at my amal valve i see a bleed valve ( or so ive been told ) but as im in no way mechanically minded im unsure of wot its doing or if it should be there ( people say its fine others say its not ) i presume the other pipe should be connected ( its blanked off ) is this gonna do any damage it being this way?? any help you can give me will be appreciated...

Wooahhhh slowdown...
If you remove that bleed valve you will likely melt the engine as its obviously being used to control the return flow from the amal bleed so removing it will INCREASE the boost pressure.. likely by LOTS.
Get it done by someone who knows what hes doing or leave it alone

Ahhhhh,so what would happen if you had an Amal valve AND a bleed valve?
I found mine disconnected so i plugged it back in thinking it had just got knocked off due to a bumpy road or something but it constantly clicks when i turn ignition on...?clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclic k Stop's whenever i start the car though.
So i just unplugged it again and been at AVA a few times since and they havent said anything so i guess this is OK?

dont think so they just go straight trough to the switch in the car.... i maybe wrong.. holds 12psi most times but some times only holds 10 could this be due to a worn actuator?
