(3) put your finger on one side of the banjo, and hold the other side against the hole in the ALDA where the bolt goes (completing a seal as if the bolt were holding the banjo on) and then release. If everything is clean, the engine should rev higher with the banjo on, and drop back down with it off. If there is no change in engine speed, there is still a clog somewhere.
Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a shot tomorrow.
