yamaha04 Posted April 26, 2020 Report Posted April 26, 2020 Trying to do a leak down test on my Fresh rebuild. My OEM I take boots are leaking between the reeds and boot. I would guess the rubber Oring that is moulded in the OEM boot is done. Has anyone ever put another reed gasket on that side So instead of 2 gaskets like factory. There would be 4 on both sides of the reeds. This would solve my issue I think Quote
yamaha04 Posted April 26, 2020 Author Report Posted April 26, 2020 Just pulled them off. Oring is hard as a rock. I guess that’s what you get after too many years sitting in a box. Quote
sandman101 Posted April 26, 2020 Report Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) I literally just found the exact same thing on my ‘88. I might just try a really thin coat of gasket maker between the two. Edited April 26, 2020 by sandman101 Quote
yamaha04 Posted April 27, 2020 Author Report Posted April 27, 2020 Update. Had to yamaBond the new reed gaskets and I made two more to go between the reeds and OEM Intake. Might be time to upgrade. It’s been holding 8psi for around 3 hours now. Should be good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
