no vac leaks are checked by hand. I replaced one line not because it was leaking but because it felt brittle. The gauge tested my engines ability to create correct vaccum. Remember there is only a couple feet of vac line on this engine. Flutter would indicate a valve problem which I am thankful I don't have yet (on these engines it always "yet")
dcb for the other guys solution. is it pegging fuel trim because of the vac leak or is the vac leak not letting it peg enough fuel trim? IE we don't WANT to use more fuel :-) (just clarifying)
for the dessicant. won't it just absorb the gasoline? making putting in an oven a really really bad idea ? :-) also if it will just absorb the water will it TAKE water out of solution or just the free floating water?
and I would still love to clarify if the water IS actually harmful to the engine and fuel system. would the simple addition of a maintenance supply of stabil be enough to counter the corrosive effects of the water?
