That is a very common problem. Come with the ring job

I have found that a well placed palpation just above the main induction port after pumping up the blower will produce a sound known as a "queefe". If said blower's compression is in good order, the tone of the queefe should emulate as a higher pitch indicating good compression while a lower more rumbling tone would indicate sever use with looser tolerances....

I figured that 35 fountain would come with twin blowers, twins are always better than single blowers. However, one blower usually becomes upset, quits working and cost a lot of money to fix the situation.

After my ring job I Woke up with 4 little buoys .... They have also been a major decline in blower output...

The queefe is the blow off valve for to much pressure:thankyouthankyou:

The best way to explain how a engine works in general ( suck,bang,blow).
I like my girls like I like my weekends, short, full of beer, and gone by Monday!

You guys are so dead. Glad my wife didn't read this.

Mine is to busy with pinterest, making a list of home improvements she wants done. Time to send her to the blower shop.

I'm not dead, well maybe just mostly dead! Mine caught me laughing at all of the posts, so she said she had to read 'em and she was laughing her hot little A$$ off before she was half way through. Only time will tell what the outcome will be... she may kill me in my sleep, or she'll be working on the afore mentioned roadhead this weekend. Now if I'm not around tomorrow...the result will be obvious.
