I'm trying to vacuum test my old Volvo Penta SP-A outdrive which is still on boat. My Workshop manual calls for 50kpa, I'm getting a max reading of 25kpa and holds at this pressure for over an hour. Don S. mentioned in an old thread, that the drive shaft seals only hold a certain pressure and to "tip" drive to enable a more accurate reading ?
Could Don S. or someone help me on this, the drive has water in oil so trying to locate leak. What is an acceptable reading?
Thanks
