Hi Peter,
Here is a picture of a 55-7 Heat Riser Valve from one of the vendors. Note the two little studs (actually a stud and the end of the valve) and spring on the left side. That is the Anit-Rattle spring. Check if yours is missing or broken. You may want to try a small spring there if yours is missing or broken. Something light weight and not to strong. Maybe like a distributor spring and probably stainless steel due to the heat. Even one that is not stainless may work OK. So what if you need to replace it in a year or so. 1 dollar beats 100 dollars for a new Heat Riser Valve. And yes, if it is opening and closing as it should, I would keep it. Good article referenced by Eric. HTH Jim
