(1/3) > >>

flash42:
fitted my snorkel about a month ago, and the bloody thing stil aint fully watertight, and really want it ready for some wading.
whats the best way to locate the air leak?

solihull-mick:
Put your hand over the top, it should stall the engine or close to stall it, then listen for any air rushing noises, theres your leak  :grin:

bit of a two man job then :)
looks like i have a project for tomorrow :)

Landy Andy:
I put a carrier bag over top of snork and listen for noise as engine should stall, have been told that this can make pipes collapse, but can't see how else to test?

the way i do it is to spray some easy start around all joints with engine running if the revs pick up you got a leak
