High

This
is

presumably
caused

by

pressure

owing
to
a
leak
in

the
vacuum
tube
or

dia

phragm
or

by
an

due
to

valve

Vacuum
leakage
is
checked

by

directly
measuring
the

negative

sure
after

removing
the
vacuum

pipe

A

puncture
of
the
vacuum
dia

phragm
can
be

easily
ascertained

because
the

torque

oil
is

absorbed
into
the

engine

Items
to
be
checked
when

In

this
check
the

should
be
measured
with

with

If

check
whether
the

is

incorporated

If

it
is
caused
