Re: How long does your setup take?

I have noticed a few different versions of pos and neg checks and thought i would add in my .02.

On pos, i fill the loop, do a pilsbury dough boy test on the CL's in a couple minutes and listen for the whoosh when I crack the dsv. Another good way to find leaks is to set the neg or pos and then listen around the probable spots for a ticking sound or hiss.
Hi Ron,
Another way of doing a pos check on OTS CL breathers is to ''pilsbury dough boy'' the CL's and lay the unit on its front. If it's got a leak it'll go down, and it'll be quick - less than a minute.

There you go Andy, when a bit pushed for time, a whole 4 minutes can be shaved off the prep now
