Al,
      If you mean the original 3.5"ga version, this is an odd thing.  There
are two versions, a "small" boilered version and a "large" boilered
version.   The "small" boilered version uses a rotary disk dome mounted
throttle, where the throttle body serves as both the vertical drypipe and
the valve body.  However the "large" boilered version, and the 2X version,
calls for a rotary disk, stay-type, in-line throttle running within the
steam space.  This is unusual in that one would think the opposite would be
the case - the more complicated dome throttle would be used in the "large"
boilered version and the simpler in-line type would be better suited for
the "small" boilered version.
