sprinklerman Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 You can make one for about 20.00 from parts bought at home depot or lowes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech AS Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Yeah the hardest part to find would be a good low pressure gauge. The rest is cheap n easy to find 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaN Powersports Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Starting fluid and two strokes can equal dead Shee I cringe when people come to my shop with a 'sitter' carb job, or low compression and fog it with ether to get it going! Waiting for it to pop a crank seal everytime! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Yeah the hardest part to find would be a good low pressure gauge. The rest is cheap n easy to find I use a cheap parts store vacuum gauge as it also has an easy to read 0-10 psi side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for it to pop a crank seal everytime! haha I tried that once when I was about 14 when I was working on my first cz and the old guy that was teaching me about the cz's bout broke my hands. Needless to say after a detailed explanation from him I learned a lesson without any cost involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 use a low pressure fuel pressure gauge. i'll post a link nice BIG gauge and easy to read. i'm not sure if there is a post in the "build" thread but i use a T fitting and link both sections together not just rely on the crank labrynth seal to leak. something like this works great. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Carburetor-Valve-Fuel-Pump-Pressure-Vacuum-Tester-Gauge-Test-Kit-Car-Truck-/170971391604?pt=Motors_Automotive_Tools&hash=item27ceb06674&vxp=mtr most auto parts stores have them in stock for around 20-25 bucks. i have a few fittings setups for twins and singles ( pvc) then just transfer my gauge. after i built mine a few years ago its been a great asset. any good 2 stroke guy this should be number one on ANY issue related to runability. i have been amazed at the leaky intakes i have found and center cases with blown sections on the bottom from bad build quality. i even used it when i built the intake for my teryx to bench test it before i ran it.

m671054 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 You know, I've been using a cooling system pressure tester to do mine. It has a nice gauge and built in pressure supply. Plus you should test your cooling system for leaks as well. I have seen to many upper dome orings leaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
