Electric cutout exhaust leak... When I first got the cutout put on it closed all the way and didnt leak at all, but now I've noticed that it doesnt close all the way unless I hold the switch. As soon as I let go of the switch it has the damn leak again. Has anybody else had this problem? If so what did you do to fix it? I was thinkin about makin a gasket for it using some RTV, but I didnt know id it would work. Its not leakin where it bolts on, its leaking on th elittle flap that opens up. Thanks in advance.

Re: Electric cutout exhaust leak... I think most people try to use rtv to create a better seal once this happens so it sounds as though you are on the right track.

Re: Electric cutout exhaust leak... Mine does the same thing. If it is still leaking after you close it, instead of holding the switch try just a quick "bump".
