Fortunately my buddy provided a factory manual with the forks. I first noticed when I popped off the dust seal, parts were missing. Come to find out, someone had been in there before. The manual actually tells you to remove and discard the foam seal and washer.
My buddy told me that the air joint wasn't sealed to the forks and was just sitting these, so apparently psi wasn't an issue. LOL! Odd thing is, my buddy bought it from the original owner and supposedly, only had it serviced at his Honda dealer. Speaking of PSI, "0-6". He's picking up the forks today and will bring the air joint so I can fit the proper sized o-rings and get it working right. Even if he runs "0 psi", it should be sealed.
