    Its on the fuel line and open so I would trace where the line runs to.

    It goes into the pump. But I’m unsure what it’s supposed to do. And whether it’s supposed to be open or closed. Cause I think fuel is staying in my head causing poor power.

    It is a fuel recirculation setup to warm the cold incoming fuel with the warm return fuel. Just leave the tap shut. They got rid of it after a year or two. I think it was on MBN?s

    The handle is inline with the hose so its in the open position like I mentioned in my post. To shut it turn the handle so it’s perpendicular to the line.

    Pretty sure I found the issue. Barometric pressure only reads 12.7 here in Utah it’s supposed to sense 30. Does it need calibrated or replaced u think.
