Powder Balancing

[fred89sp]

I understand that has been a problem but I believe that Equal now
supplies a special valve core with a filter that takes care of this.

I have used Equal for seven or eight years in my Bird and before that
with my SOB. The dealer I have done business with for twenty years
recommends it and I have been happy with the product.

Michelin does not endorse the use of Equal or comparable products.
