Howard,
Looking directly at the heat riser from the right side of the engine,if you could turn it clock-wise,it would open it.Then it would be in the warmed up position.Mine was frozen in the half open position,I ended up removing the manifold,and removing the plate and shaft. I used a cutting torch for this,it was rusted beyond saving.Then you can tap the shaft holes for allen headed pipe plugs.Just let it warm up alittle longer in the winter months.
Regards, Mark
