Doing a condition inspection I decided to pull my sniffle valve for inspection (IO-360/Superior intake,300 hours). This part always seemed like a witch doctor fix looking for a problem ...
Once it was out, I gave it a shake, and no rattle. Blew some air through it and it was completely plugged. So next I shot some auto fuel injector sensor cleaner through it, and voila, the insides now rattle and it's again a check valve.
So somewhere along the way this thing stopped sniffling fuel, but I didn't notice.
You might toss this into your inspection list, you never know
