Thank you, Shadetree! Though I wish I did not have to look the results of my tight wad ways, square in the face. Tragically, I bought the very least expensive one I could find. I bought it on eBay, though it purported to come from a USA parts house.
I was afraid it might be simply that I ordered a piece of rubbish part. That leaves me with a bit of a dilemma. You see, I really can't afford to buy a Honda part, from Honda. And, if this control valve is trash, then obviously I can't go that cheap route again. So where do I strike the balance? There must be a point where you're paying enough to get some sort of quality, and yet not paying full price for a genuine, pedigreed stock part.
Is there a way to adjust the idle on the thing, just to make sure that it's not something simple, before I conclude that I have to buy a new control valve? Husband looked and looked, but says he wasn't able to find a way to adjust it. Hard for me to believe that it's not possible, however.
Thank you so much for your reply! I really appreciate it!
