[DML] Another Unusual Vacuum Leak

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am still working on the same car that had the wrong length screw
that created the leak at the knock-out plug on the inlet manifold.
Going over all the parts I found that the "O" ring on the cold start
valve was missing. You can see it in the Parts Manual 2-2-1 # 4. This
is a perfect example of the many things you must go in and redoe
because of a dreaded P.O. and his "mechanic". This car has extra
wiring running all over from the otterstadt switch, an extra ground
wire for the fuel pump, a hack job for a radio install, loose wiring
left over from a radar detector, and every day I find more. I cannot
over emphacize the importance of finding and correcting all of the
previous work that has been done on your car BEFORE you can start to
get it working right. BTW the vent hose on the carbon cannister (the
one coming out of the bottom of it) was solidly plugged up. If you get
a smell of fuel or there seems to be too much pressure when you take
your fuel cap off on a hot day I suggest you check that your hose is
not plugged up. While you are in there you can replace the small round
filter inside. The bottom snaps off and the filter slides out. You
should be able to pick one up locally for around $2. It is a Fram #
