Thanks Frank

I've never measured cold. I can't help ya with that.

Get it warmed-up and see what reading you get. I'm typically around 3.7, fully warmed.

It really shouldn't matter which side of the manometer you hook to; one should read positive, one should read negative. You'll probably want to put a hose on the other nipple as well, though, and route it somewhere where it's protected from any wind or venting. It'll be very sensitive.

I assume you watched the video that JFP linked you to earlier?

Now,I went to the left prong,warm at 180 Deg,and meter read's 3.18 to 3.30 fluctuating. Thanks

Frank, that's not too far from what I read on mine. (I'm usually closer to 3.7)
I've taken that to mean the AOS is currently healthy. But I've only ever seen the one. JFP will have much more data behind his advice. Let's wait and see what he says.

it did increase to 3.75-3.80,..but I pulled the intake to AOS hose like JFP said to check vacuum and I have oil in the top of that AOS and the connecting tube,..enough to cover the tip of my little finger twice over,..and can tap oil out of the new tube. ! So another one on the way..I sure hope this is the issue,..and I will also drain some oil to be safe now,..like Newart has suggested in another thread.!
