  1. thanks for the input . I took both ends loose and put air to it and still just drips . checked oil manifold and all is clear. so I tore 1/8 " copper tubing out and increased tube, block fittings and final conn. at gauge  all to 1/4 " and works great. after further inspection of 1/8 " that I removed I found 1 spot where it was oval instead of round , definitely not kinked but it was enough. I would strongly recommend 1/4" tubing for anyone  who wants a mech. gauge on their dash when it's a 40 ' away from there motor.


  2. Thanks for the input Herman and wildbill , sorry I didnt leave more info . 99 National Tradewinds  36'6".Autometer gauge has 1/8" fitting  on back. Iran at 1100 PM for about 5 minutes before it started dripping . put it back together and gradually got to 50 psi but that seems too slow. cat 3126 ,fresh oil ,no leaks. could manifold be plugged on the outlet I used. Dash gauge responds fairly quick but it's just a low or high gauge . ( reason I went with a mech.gauge.
