Neil, Thanks for the information. Only problem is I went ahead and pulled the center of the valves out before pulling the body of them out. DUMB!  While trying to reassemble the valves (nearly impossible) I lost both of the brass spring retainers. and now I'm looking for a complete High and Low flow control valve assy with fuel rails.

Leo,

 

Be brave pull them out and have a look at them, there is an o ring

that locates them around the bottom of the valve. Without any o rings the fuel

would flow around the valves instead of through the valves once the spring

tension has been overcome. When you get the valves out you will notice that

one valve is harder to compress than the other.

Neil,

Should those two valves have an o ring around the top of them?. There is a groove around them near the top that looks like it should have an o ring. If they are supposed to, mine never had them! I assume the valves must have an o ring farther down because they act like they are stuck. I can move them from side ti side but not up and out.
