Karl,
Replace it with an all electrical system and you won't have those
problems :-)) I went to all electrical in my 912S Mono Wheel. Vacuum
systems do not have a good reputation for long livity. The old wet
vacuum systems lasted but it seem as though thoes are hard to find as
everyone had gone dry.
