How do I test these damn things. I got them to go up the other day, but now nothing. If I pull the small line off of the vaccuum check and plug the hole they try to raise. About 1/4" I made sure there was no leaks on the inside. How do I check the outside hoses?

Budman

I have a good article on testing the vacuum system, but it is a Word doc and I can not figure how to post or email you.

The forum email does not have an attachments area. Email me and I will send it.

I bought a hand vacuum pump and used this article; got my system working great.

Budman, try this link. Once there, click on the red corvette and then look for "Technical Articles" on the "welcome" page. It helped me.
