To assist in preventing backfiring during high vacuum conditions, a deceleration valve is used. High vacuum draws valve diaphragm down and opens valve to allow air from air cleaner to flow into intake manifold. This process leans the mixture created by high vacuum.

CAUTION: If steam cleaning components or using high pressure detergent, mask intake air cleaner and air pump completely.
