Re: Rubber stone-chip treatment v waxoyl

Re: exhaust winter switch valve thingy- working or not ?

They don't all have one but are commonly on the 'cold climate' twin battery (as standard) bongos/fredas. If yours has it you'll have a switch (with an engine picture) by your right knee. The switch illuminates in the 'on' position.
