Hello all, revisiting the walker air sep topic, specifically the silencer/metal canister. I spoke to a rep at walker and he told me the canister portion of the set up was good for about 3000 hours. I explained to him how the silencer material in the end of the canister was deteriorating and he suggested just removing it. I took his advise and it's really nothing more than a heavy duty foam pad glued in to the canister. I was able to peel it out and sand papered away any remaining glue. If it's nothing more than a silencer pad, then other than "noise" how bad can it be. So two questions, has anyone else done the same, and can anyone explain to me how to read that little plunger valve with the red disk on the canister. What is its purpose? Thanks!
I removed the foam from 2 different boats with no problems. There might be a slight turbo whine but not enough to notice if you were not listening for it. Both sets needed painting anyway so they were prepped and re-painted at the time.
