Yeah that oring likes to roll and leak. After the first time I had that happen we started siliconing them, which makes them a little more slippery.We also silicone the steel gasket on the pipe coming out of the back, and never reuse the old one... I mention this because I didn't see that part of the installation above.Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
Don. Refresh my memory on why you decided to replace the pump?Also Ken may chime in here but I’ve heard that the O ring for the tube on the pump has created problems for some as it can roll out of position as you are reinserting it. I would have told you to make sure and lube the inner surface of the O ring and the mating surface of the pipe but since they are already back together.....I may get reprimanded for failing to tell you sooner. Also sir, I see your safety snap ring is not correctly installed on your fumoto valve. I would think a helo pilot would like to have safety retention devices installed. With all the stuff you run over you don’t need the valve to inadvertently get opened. Other than that it’s looking like you are making good progress. CM sir. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Sorry sir, for I feel that, once again, I have let our illustrious leader down. But hey I’ll try to be more proactive. When you get ready to fire it up for the first time, make sure you remove the shop towel from the turbo inlet first.....Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I tell ya what don, if someone else has to follow this process they will have all the info needed. That was my understanding of the build thread, use the knowledge you have, gain new stuff others contribute, others better the process as other follow the original. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Mine has been on since almost new. Never an issue and I keep a vacuum cap over it.
Mine has the exact hose as Dons, so much less mess. Just stick the hose in the 2gallon washer fluid jug fill it up, grab the next and done. No more catch pan. I use a bolt in the end of my cleAr hose with a small stainless clamp Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I have learned a great deal from this thread. Mainly, that I don’t want a LML. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Wait, did the boss imply that he would take advice before doing something? I must ponder this fantasy for a moment. #unemployedagainSent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
I have not done an lml Don. ..but Lmm and back to lb7s just had a coated steel gasket and they aren't reusable. If it had some type of rubber seal, then it's different. We all have the same kind of luck (Murphy). I would probably order a new cooler gasket and orings for the top tube.Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
