Hi all,
Tracking down vacuum leaks on the 914 is a source of frustration for many 914 owners. It seems that smoke machines are increasingly popular for many shops http://www.motor.com/magazinepdfs/072003_04.pdf I was curious if anyone has experience using them on the 914. Seems like a good way to seek and find plenum leaks or related. |

Used em on many a Honda. Usually on evap systems but if you pipe it in correctly, you should be able to detect almost any leak. Use a flashlight to highlight the smoke as it comes out of wherever - it really lights up much better for detection.
