Weeeelll, apart from the #1 valve being pretty much closed, before, I don't think we'll ever be able to say for sure.
My theory (which is mine, which is to say it belongs to me) is that the valve not working properly caused a buildup of deposits in the upper chamber, which I guess I am now burning away. How that relates to the way it's behaving now (erratic idle) is beyond my skill set or imagination to explain, tho. What I *can* say is that it sounds completely different now, than when I first drove it last year. Sounds better than my SD, as a matter of fact, and that is running really nicely right now (looks around frantically for piece of wood).
