I put 45 in mine before I put everything back together and it looks half flat.
Maybe I need a new gauge.

You are supposed to put 35psi in BOTH halves, most forget to fill the bottom half.bagarre wrote:35 lbs?

Re: tail wheel air pressure
As it turns out, my tire gauge IS bad. I checked it against another one and it was nearly 20 pounds off!
Filled the tire to 35 pounds and it works great.
