Dave i would keep it for now, you are one of the few guys that have one on hand and we know where it is and in the faulty state.
Synchronizator has done some useful testing with both and could not find a difference, we had some email exchanges and he made some video's on how the iacv operated which was very helpful, i also asked him if there was enough strength in the movement in the worm shaft and he replied that there was plenty to motivate the piston.
My question to you is; did the faulty iacv operate normally in the startup cycle and were the rpm's of the engine as you would expect?
And can you feel the attraction of the permanent magnets as you rotate the shaft and if so how many " steps " per revolution, could you somehow measure the torque required to go from one step to the next, maybe have a weight on a piece of wire, measure the weight and the distance from the shaft, ie; 35 gram at 6.3 centimeters.
Maybe repeat this test and heat the iacv ( the rotor needs to be heated and may take a long time to get up to temperature ) and see if that measurement changed and by how much, just curious.
Sorry if you already explained this but it has been a while, in other words did the problem occur only whilst riding?
Also be aware that there is a postal transport issue in the us as i understand it, cheers Dave.
