[RASMB] Vacuum Problem Troubleshooting

[Prevelige, Peter Edward, Jr]

Hi All

Our XL-A is having problems achieving vacuum. It pumps down quickly to about 100 micron, then slowly down to about 55 micron where it stalls. Can anybody give me hints on how to go about troubleshooting the vacuum system.  I've cleaned the chamber and cleaned and regreased the door seal.

Thanks

Peter
