Right Rear Bag Slow Filling

[phigity]

ok well with the new 1/2" valves i got the filling and dumping are a lot faster. the only problem is the right rear bag is slow. it's been that way since i've had them on the car. i thought maybe with the new valves it would help it out some. any ideas on what it could be? what could i do in order to fix it? i'm going to be running new lines from the valves to the bags soon so i'll have the wheels off for a little bit. any idea's on how to fix it or what to check?

spray bottle of soapy water...see if its leaking...check the fittings at the valve, tank and bag/cylinder..whatever your using...then use more tape, or get the teflon glue

could be bad wire connection.. maybe bad ground, the valve not opening all the way...

could be a leak

could be the setup is binding when it lifts somewhere/somehow

the line could be kinked somewhere

could be alot of things

hope one of these help

[incudose]

yeah, sounds like the line is kinked up...if it was leaking fitting then it would just sit back down...

If your line lengths arent the same that will also make a difference

[phigity]

yeah i'm thinking it's the line that getting kinked or the setup is binding somewhere. it's not the valves b/c they are new and it was doing the same before.

adam: so the lines need to be the same length? why's that?

[phigity]

also shouldn't the rear raise up a lot faster then the front? i mean there's hardly any weight back there compared to the front with the engine weight. the front comes up quick and if i do the left side up then she comes up fast. it's just the right rear thats slowing everything down. maybe if i get that fixed the rear might hop? do you think so?

Not exactly what I said, they dont need to be

For example, if your left line is 6 ft and your right line is 1 foot, it will for sure be faster on the right side, since there is less area to be pressurized, think of it as pouring water into something, a 1 gallon just will fill 5x fater then a 5 gallon pail. On your suspension it wont make a huge difference is the difference in legth is negligable, but if one line is 5 times longer that will make a big difference.

[phigity]

the lines aren't that much of a difference but when i cut the new ones i'll make sure they are about even. could there be something wrong with the bag?

[lownine5s10]

if there was something wrong with the bag it would most likely be flexing awkwardly. maybe twisted or something along those lines. i would think if the valves were alright and all the fittings were airtight, then it would have to be the mechanics of the setup.
just my :2cents:

you have a kinked line, you can bet the farm on that.....:) and yes, the back should be faster to lift, but slower to dump....Lata Jack
BTW-will get you those measurements after work for the tank....

Yup sounds almost certainly like a kinked line.
