If you have tried every test known to man and can't find the air leak
try this.
Remove the 4 bolts holding the plastic bowl. Remove the bowl.
Spin off the turbine.
There is a small metal ball and gasket inside the turbine tube.
The gasket is made by a company known as TOP.
THe gasket comes in a package that says TOP. Sometimes people think that
indicates how the gasket is to be installed. It boggles the mind to
think that this is the cause of anyone's air leak, but I know of a boat
where this is exactly what bit me.
There are two distinct sides to the gasket.
- A flat surface with a hole.
- An indented surface.
The ball sits in the flat surface side. NOT the indented side.
Let me know if this solves anyone's problem. The fellow who provided
this info would like to know if this a prevalent problem.
