front bags hesitate to lift fast 200psi

Edited: 7/19/2006 5:14:50 PM by i navin it

im running hydro hose cuz of some bad experiance with plastic line.

i get that same thing, my problem is that the valves need a certain amount of pressure behind them to keep the diaphram closed. so when u are layed out there is zero psi so the dump stays open and when u air up air escapes through the dump untill it catches and closes. hope that helps

the bags arent fully compressed when laid out.



This is probably your problem.

if your dump leaks at first i had that problem one time so i put a fitting on the outside of the valve so it has pressure to close the dump valve back

I have the same problem with mine. But I figure its because 1)the bags arent fully collapsed ( Which Im glad because if I park on unlevel service it can still move if needed ) and 2) My truck weighs 3,400lbs on the front. Once its up I can almost get it to hop, but from laidout its much slower.
