Heres a Tip: Massive leak, hose to powertube

First time totally disassembling the 98 (or removing the front powertube part) to give her a mega clean. Re-assembly was fine until I gassed it up and air was pouring out where the airline meets the powertube. Took it apart adjusted the square nut to make sure it was snug against the frame, still does it. Anyhow, come to find out, I didnt put the screw in closest to the airline (since thats where my Mag kit screws into) and that was making it leak. Reckon you gotta have that powertube area nice n tight Gotta lear sometime huh? LMAO

the platinum has that problem. you need to line everything up correctly to make it seal itself. as long as you take care doing that htere is no problem.

Ive seen people make their own gasket for that, I personally like elbow grease the best for that particular problem.
