Thank you Luxkid. My parents purchased the XXX about 1949. My father purchased the LX used around the mid 60's. |

The air leak comes from the rubber suspension mounting that the 'motor' is mounted upon. As the rubber dries out from time, one or more of the rubber suspensions is allowing air to enter at that point, decreasing suction at the hose. It can be replaced, but it will have to be robbed from another period motor (of which there are literally millions still left). I have an automatic E I need to do the same thing to.
