Another way to find leaks is to use a hand held ultrasonic leak
detector. We have four CJs in one hangar and this equipment is shared by
everyone. It=99s capable of uncovering even the smallest leak.
Worth every penny when the pneumatic system is acting up and the cause
is not obvious. There are several different models available on Amazon.

check and clean the valve. Also when I did mine, I didn't get the crush
washer tight enough and had a small leak at the banjo fitting when I
reinstalled it. I tightened up the fitting and Wa-la..... air!

the required 30 ATMs for takeoff. The system still leaks some but it
may also be a weak air compressor. Is there a way to test the
compressor? What are the limits? Thanks everyone!

Mike at Superfinishers in AZ made the end caps for my 50's actuators...back in
2006 or so. They were a 1000 times better than the OEM parts. He also has/had
a 50. He might be able to help you out for future needs.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to help me out. I'll be home later in the
week and will be able to apply some of these ideas to my Nanchang. I'll keep
you all informed of the results.
