Functional inspection
The rotor rotates very fast and should continue to rotate when the engine has
stopped.
- Stop the engine when it is warm.
- Listen for a whirring sound from the rotor or feel whether the cleaner
housing is vibrating.
The rotor normally continues spinning for 30 - 60 seconds after the engine
has stopped.
If it does not: dismantle it and inspect the component parts.
