stoopidfast Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I did my leak down test. I pressured up to 6psi and I lost 1/2 lb over 3 minutes. Is this acceptable or normal? I sprayed very soapy water all over the top end and there were no leaks that I could find. Is there anywhere else I should look?

stoopidfast Posted May 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Is it possibly the crank seals? I did not take the covers off to check those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Spray bottle of soapy water will tell you what's leaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtydownunder Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) use sealant on the crank/primary key, that can leak and if you assembled it all, you wont see it with soap. Edited May 27, 2015 by dirtydownunder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadarRacing Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 1/2 lb for a few minutes is a PASS if you ask me. I never worry about em if they will hold for that long. It would proba ly be leaking slightly from the crank key, and washer if you want to seal it. Otherwise it passed IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigid_Banshee Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Kinda wondered the same thing, should it loose exaclty 1 pound of air for every minute that goes by ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
