ok we know we have a leak but is it repairable or not and if we replace it how do we test the new one.
as we do not have all the rubber plugs and the hose fittings how are we to test the core. you will need a container of water big enough to submerge it in to. kiddies wadding pool, that plastic sled, the wheel barrow or a 5 gal bucket. of course some air any compressor that you can adjust the air presser on will work. remember it operates at 15 psi
for our test we made a jumper hose and pushed it onto the nipples then cut a small slit in it. we left the 3/4 nipple with out a clamp for safety and clamped the 3/4 hose on the 1/2 in nibble to seal that end. then slipped the blow gun into the slot. both of the cores we could submerge in the 5 gal bucket. when you put them in rattle it around enough to loosen the taped air before blowing into the hose. fill it with air and look for the bubbles.
