Carb pressure tester

[redunshee]

Anyone know where I can get a replacement tester? Tried to do a pop-off test and back of pump bulb flew off into the wild blue yonder. Not sure what I did wrong but that's not here nor there. Looked at Bailey's website and they have a couple, but no pictures. Not too enthused about buying anything w/o seeing what it looks like. Thanks. Bob

Sounds like you need a new pressure bulb. Go to a medical supply store.

A Mighty-Vac is pretty cheap and works well.

Good idea. Didn't think of that.

MightyVac is the way to go, the silver line model will test both vac and pressure. When I would try to pressure test a carb with a bulb tester, I would usually blow the check valve out of the squeeze bulb when gage got close to 15 lbs. pressure.

do you have a model number for that? I looked on their websit and didn't find it. Mine is a Silverline kit 04000 but it only does vacuum best i can tell. And the gauge only reads vacuum

That's a mod. 8500, one of the best tools in my box.

I ordered a 8510, looks like it does both. Now I need an adapter to do primary compression testing/pressure & vacuum testing on crankcase. I might could use some adapters from my cylinder leakdown tester.

I don't think I will order from them again.. Took about 10 days to get it, I bet all they do is order it when you do, then ship it after it arrives. DUMB. No communication.
