Re: Turbo 350 Leak - Accumulator

geezer#99, I wanted to mention 1 other thing that seemed odd when I changed the accumulator cap o-ring, and 2 accumulator piston rings, last week. Before I did the job, several people told me the reassembly is difficult because the spring needs to be compressed with a small pry bar/tool while trying to put the accumulator cap snap ring back in. This turned out not to be difficult. The spring did not engage the accumulator cap until it was 1/8 inch or so from being fully seated. I was able to use 1 thumb to compress the accumulator cap in 1/8 inch while installing the snap ring. Very simple and fast to do.

Could my spring possibly be weak/wore out and causing this leak? Maybe the spring is not putting enough outward pressure on the accumulator cap to properly seal it? Thanks again for your help.

Thank you
