THANK YOU GARY!
I have been preaching this for years, but very few would listen to my rantings.  Many expensive trouble shooting sorties could have been prevented by simply checking the nose gear retract cly first.  But the "red herring" is that there is air escaping from the front cockpit gear valve, and in many cases convinces the owner/mechanic that the valve QSF-2A ($270.00) is going bad.  Now, understand I just love selling $270.00 valves, but in many situations it simply will not fix the problem.  A full set of nose gear retract cly seals and felts is only $40.00 if you want to tackle it yourself, or I now have all the special tools and will overhaul your cly and Fed Ex it to you for $100.00, or with epoxy primer $115.00.  You do the math.
 
I will be at ARS this year with a new ultrasonic leak detector, which I think will find even a very small high pressure leak.  These units retail for about $400.00 for the good one with head phones.  If it works as well as I expect it to it might be a good item to have at all the Yak gatherings on both coasts and in Nebraska.
 
Always Yakin,
Doug Sapp
