Hey Guys,



A relatively quick way to tell if you have leaks in the intake manifold is to do the old Citabria exhaust manifold trick. Remove the carb, set up your shop vacuum to "blow" and attach the hose to the intake manifold. With the air blowing into the manifold coat the all the various fittings and joints with a mixture of soap and water and look for bubbles. I've found mine leaking at the rubber boots where the upper and lower intake pipes connect using this technique.

 

While at Jabiru school they told us to put the black "gook" on about 1/4" before the pipe bottoms out when inserted into the splitter. When you push the pipe in the rest of the way the "gook" will push into the joint and help the "o" ring seal.

 

Hope it helps!

The Black “Gook” is #2 gasket sealer, from permatex or versacem.   

Hope that helps
