zeppyrkr Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 i was asking this in my slight leak thread but i thought its a different topic so i made a new one. so heres the pic, are they all like this? has anyone tried to make it bigger or would that make such a little difference most people wouldn't notice?the colored in hole is the hole it has and the outside one is the size they could have made it.

mushrat Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 so the black rubber grommet for the stem to go into the base is leaking air? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 ok..there is a nut on the inside that holds that part in place. you MAY be able to get a pair of needle nose pliers in there to hold the nut and then hand twist the port a little. I had one like that here that I was able to fix that way and one I wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Devils Playground Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Worst case just use a dab of silicone around it. Or super putty as seen on tv. lol But on the inside and let it dry a day. Then smoke away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
