It took mine less then a week... I think my payment went thru on a Thurs, and it arrived the following Wed.. It would probably be faster for Jason, as he lives in the States and there is no customs to deal with... Last edited by Jay Roy; 01-27-2009 at 05:09 PM. |

Right now I'm toying with two options. Time and of course money are the big factors. Plus every time I think I have the answer new info comes up and it's back to the drawing board.
This thread and the contributors are a big help. I think we need a DPV forum..

And want to clarify for mine and maybe everyones elses. The vacuum tester is to test the shaft seal primarily correct? and or motor compartment including shaft seal. And how often do you test it? |

John is your PVC the same as the HDPE? By that I mean the location of the vacuum tester port.

Depending on the model, shaft seal and the rear cone o-rings (on the HDPE's) The newer Gavins have a 1 piece back end so I dont believe there's an o-ring to be tested there any more, but i havent seen one yet. The vacuum tester looks for leaks from any of these seals as well as any failed welds in the motor compartment section. The tester I recommended in an earlier post also has a pressure fitting so if your machine will not hold vacuum you can pressureize the compartment through the same fitting, throw the back end in a tub of water and look for leaks. The cheaper vacuum testers from canadian tire and auto parts extra are vacuum only and dont have the pressure fitting.
The shaft seal on every gavin is made of 2 pieces of polished ceramic that trap a small film of water between them which is what forms the rotary seal. Dropping or even bumping your scooter on the rear cone can easily damage this ceramic causing a leak. This is true for the Gavins, SS, mako and any other scooter wsing this style of rear hub.
