Does the smaller hole ( that you tie off- not the motor hole) supposed to leak a little air or totally be tied off air tight? Thank you

I tied ours off tight to prevent air leakage. I assumed it was for deflating the whole thing when you roll it up for storage.

You tigh it as tight as you reasonably can with the attached strings. Air tight is not required.

When mine did that I had to replace the carb which was suckin air. New carb good seal...good to go. Actually I bought the wrong one the first time and still have it.

Air should only come out of nozzle area as it is a sealed unit. If it comes out of anywhere else that usually means its not sealed and should be replaced. Is air coming out in places other than the nozzle when you just use it or only if you put your hand over the nozzle which would block the air flow. Being that its powerful, if you block the airflow it might leak air around the canister.

Naturally it does seal small leaks as it seaps leaving material to close up the leak area and stopping the leak . But if the holes are to big of course it will do no good. As for your question states your leak is near the muffler baffles me because radiators are in the front of the vehicle and the muffler is usually at the rear. Unless what you mean to say is near the cat converter behind your engine. So all you can do is try and see. I would probably not recommend more than the recommended dose the instructions call for though.

Other than the water left over in the grooves from either rinsing or over filling it and then closing it I haven't had a problem with it leaking. It could also be the rubber attachment, I took nine off right when I got it because it was irritating me.

I'd wait to put it in until it's low so it's mostly filled with the stop leak. Mine was all the way out when I put it in (my leak was obviously much faster). Others might suggest something else, but that's what I'd recommend.

I used the seals that came with my intake system. Nothing extra was added. So far I have had no problem with any leaks. Intake works great. The engine feels like it has a little more power. I hope this information helps.

Once done blowing up close the flap and push it in so its flush. If air is leaking there may be a break in a seam I think mine are fine but defects cab happen. Hope this helps.

Mine leaked air when I first bought it...I took it apart, polished the inside of the reservoir and replaced the O-rings...after that, it would hold air indefinitely...

Sounds like you're not closing it all the way, you should hear a snap when it's closed all the way. I have 3 & none of them leak, they've been great!

If it's completely closed I haven't had any leaks. If water is in the closure it would probably leak but just a small amount.

Nearly the same force of air that's coming out of the nozzle is ALSO coming out the joints of the canister. The force coming out of the nozzle is not as powerful as all the hundreds of reviews would suggest. I'm not sure this air leak is by design - or at least the amount of "leak" from the unit I received.

continued from previous comment.... if your overflow fitting was ever plugged for some odd reason...one 1/4" drill hole anywhere in the lid would also prevent any sort of air locking.

It is a pipe thread which means it is tapered. Tighten until tight. I think I just used my hand to torque it. If you use a wrench, do not over tighten as you may strip the threads. If it does leak, tighten a quarter turn or wrap the plug threads with teflon pipe tape. I did not have to use tape.

The top hole needs to be aligned correctly over the bottom. Hopefully this is all it is and your motor is not broken. Presuming this is your first use there should be no clogging matter in the motor.

No, Wally, there should be no air leaks. I've had mine for about a month now, and I'm very, very happy with it. Quiet, light weight and easy to move, with a short recovery time. Perhaps the leak is caused by the male hose connector you plugged into it.

I'm not sure why that hole is there, but the propane does not leak through that hole.
