[namelesskilla]

i just put the big bear oil cooler on i used 3/8 oil lines and 3/8 barb nuts on big bear oil cap now it leakin and i have clamps on the lines and it still leaks any ideas??

 

[chad021]

split in the line somewhere? replace the lines or cut the ends off to make sure they arent cracked?

ita a brand new line and i didnt leave that much line to cut some off i was thinkin puttin some silicon(i think thats how you spell it?lol) on the barb and slide it back on...

Did you use thread tape on the barb fittings into the big bear adapter? Thats where mine leaked from at first cause i couldn't find my thread tape.

 

[yamarider]

is it leaking from the barb or the threaded end?

5\16 lines with silicon on a 3/8 barb WITH HOSE CLAMPS still leakin slow..... and its the part where the line slips on the barb not the part where it screws in the big bear plate....... SOMEONE GIVE ME THE ANSWER!!!

With mine I run two hose clamps per hose. Cured the leak I had with just one clamp per hose.
