You can use it on all two stokes..
Basically, loosen the muffler, slide a piece of rubber down behind it and re-tighten. Same with the carb.
Find a place to connect to the crankcase (plug hole, Impulse line or whatever like a carb adapter) and pressurize it to 8psi. Check for leaks with soapy water. If none, do the same with vacuum... but use oil around the crank seals and see if it sucks in.
