Yeah, I crawled out to the garage in my drunken stuper to see how the label on my "Mighty Vac" was spelled.....And by the time I crawled back, I realized that I didn't give a ****....
Tell us how BIG EINSTAIN WE ALL WAITING YOU AND YOUR MINDYeah, most air leaks can be easily found and fixed without breaking down a saw for a total leakdown test. If the guy knows what he is doing ..... But the O.P. here couldn't build up a vacuum, and my contention was that he wouldn't know, because a true leakdown/vac test is difficult, because it takes a hell of a lot of pumping on the "Mighty Vac" to even get the vac needle to even move, and if there is even a slight vac leak, that won't even happen, which told me that most of you guys never even tried to do a proper vac/leakdown test. And if one cannot even say that he "pressurized" a crankcase and got it to hold pressure for 5 minutes
indicates that almost all of you guys have never done a proper "leakdown" test....
Looking the mirror and you see what is fannyEinstain???? Now that is funny!!!! Scary too...
I know...No, a compressor with lots of air running through it prior to and during the dunking process.
Yes!!!!! But all of the other guys here don't feel the same way, do they??? They dunk and squirt air, and strut around patting each other on the back, touting their "leakdown test" street cred, even though they have never actually even came close.....Just saying that this is the reality.....I've found that sealing the ports is the hardest part of a leak test, but I've got a system down finally.
Post up your saws poser!Yes!!!!! But all of the other guys here don't feel the same way, do they???

You seem to be the only one here that does a proper leakdown test, otherwise these other guys might have chirped in something....I've found that sealing the ports is the hardest part of a leak test, but I've got a system down finally. I find the exhaust port the hardest on most saws and I just made up some jigs out of metal to seal against a rubber gasket like material I buy at my auto parts store. My MityVac came with some things to block off the carb port. Sometimes, though, the inside of the boot has a mesh like surface that messes with the carb sealer, in which case I just do something similar to the exhaust port.

You dont know yourself?So who is this guy????? Does he play music with Kanye????
Agreed!!!! Dropped!!!!!Listen, just because someone doesn't post up their process doesn't mean they don't know how to perform a proper leak test. Truth is, I was probably the only one that cares to take any time to post up how I do it. I'd imagine that's what this boils down to. Just trying to be the voice of reason here: why don't we all just drop it.
