My favorite indie uses a water hose to find
vacuum leaks. Simple. You spray water around
until the engine runs faster. sealing the leak
with water makes the mixture richer, so the
engine runs faster.
I could not believe it. I did not want to hose
water around the coil , distributor etc, but it
works. He found lots of M116 leaks after I fixed
the easy ones first with his method.
I knew the vacuum fittings on the top of the
engine were getting hard and brittle as they're
known to do, but I didn't think any of them were
leaking yet. I'm going to dig around on the
internet and see if I can find the plan for a
DIY smoke tester - this is something that is a
big help and could use occasionally.
More as I know it.
