Default Superram seal leak????
How do you know if you have a seal leak? Can you hear it, or does the engine run ruff?

With the engine running take a hand held propane bottle/torch like you would use to solder copper pipe together and open the valve do not light it. With the engine running move the torch around all the joints between the parts and if the engine speeds up in a given area that's where you have a leak.

You could also use carb cleaner. Same thing as above, spray around the intake and if the engine speads up you have a leak.
