I have tested all three gear actuators per Doug's instructions and they are not leaking. I did notice a small amount of air leaking from the gear RETRACTION hoses that attach to the actuators. All three have air flowing thru them. How is that possible? The front pit gear handle is down & the rear is in the neutral position & air is still leaking from the front pit valve. I am at my wits end & would appreciate more advice. Thanks. Paul On Thu, Sep 27, 2018 at 6:53 AM A.
