I'm new to the forum and impressed by the questions and answers. Perhaps you can help with a problem to leak check static air lines in my Pulsar. The VSI appears to read low by about 50% as determined by flying formation with a Bonanza and climbing. Replaced VSI gage and suspect a leak in lines. However, altimeter and airspeed appear to be correct, so maybe there is a small leak?
I was planning to disconnect the static source from A/S, VSI, and Altim, cap off fittings and apply a light positive pressure to lines and bubble solution the whole system looking for a leak. This is a real issue on a Pulsar as space is tight, especially under panel. If anyone has a better solution, I would appreciate comments.
