might have a leaking fox float

[woolyviper]

I was riding on sunday and we stopped and noticed the a-arms on my pahzer were just about level - started checking air pressures and noticed the right float had about 20 lbs and the left still had 60 - pumped them up and noticed a difference - rode the rest of the day and have not checked, but i suspect a leak - i have the fett canisters on my shocks, so i want to put some teflon tape on the threads before i take the shock to the dealer for replacement - anyone object to me using a little teflon tape on the threads to rule that out prior to the shock replacements? i only have 700 miles on the sled and the dealer is okay with replacing the shock -

They are rebuildbale just get them serviced. That is wear and tear not warrenty anyways

700 miles is warranty - dealer already agreed to replace. just wondering if i'm leaking due to the FB canisters. he's seen a couple (not a lot) of fox floats not holding air from the factory.

I was helping a guy out just last week on his floats.The schrader valve was leaking.Check it.Takes 5 minutes to replace the core.

cannister was loose - i touched it and it leaked air - finger tight doesnt work - it's tight now

i'm up to 70 lbs in my floats with the canisters - these absolutely make the floats more trail friendly - i might be able to go to 75 lbs to decrease whats left of the body roll in the corners - i'm able to enter right hand corners 2 ski widths more to the center and come back - to the right side without the body roll - the simmons skis like a little sharper turning from the bars to plant the left hand inside and the right hand outside wearbars to turn.
