Subject:      EGR valve and drain plug on an 82
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

I have an 82 Westy with a California emission system.  Two questions:
1) Should the EGR valve lever have some resistance when it is disconnected?
When I disconnect the control rod on mine the EGR lever freely moves without
any tension at all.
2) I went to change my oil for the first time and the Helicoil that was
installed by the PO came out with the plug.  What are my options for
repairing this now?
Thanks for the help,
David Cooper
