Hi Guys,
I scoured the forums to see if anyone had a way of finding any leaks on their subdrivers. Trying to locate a leak on a Subdriver can take a long time and be a big pain. I do not know if anyone has tried this so here goes. What I do is remove the inner shrader valve from the Subdriver motor bulkhead and take a syringe(any size will do) and use a piece of tubing between the syringe and the valve and inject enough pressure into the Subdriver so the caps don't pop off. Then I take a house cleaner like Hertel or Spraynine (these work best) and spray the Suddriver all over like the shaft seals, the pushrod seals, end cap orings even inside the ballast where the blow valve is and found that the valve their had a very small leak of gas propel. Where there are bubbles there is a leak. This saves me alot of time. All I have to do is repair the leak.
