My son has my old 98 SRX 700 and we had the power valves services for preseason because they were leaking a little 2 stroke oil on the pipes, My son rode this sled about 220 mile with out any problems the sled ran great, Last weekend he tooking it out and within 10 mile of riding he said it started to run rough so he stopped and was checking things out and the dealer did not torque the cable retainer cap were the cable enteres the power valve because the bolts had fallen out and the whole thing was just hanging there, He got new bolts and put it back together and after about 4 miles of ridding he says he is getting a grinding noise or something like that coming from the side of the motor the power vale problem was on. My question is what do these power valves do and could there have been some damage to the motor or cylinder because this p/v came apart while he was riding. He's 22 yrs old and a pretty smart kid, he did not run it any further when he found the problem, He pulled the belt off and when and got a friend and the each grabbed a ski and draged it to the road (about a mile) any one who may be answer my question I would greatly appriciate it

Well, the powervalve points down towards the cylinder. Is it possible that something fell in? If something fell in, then the engine will need to be rebuilt. Can you be more specific on "grinding"?
