Good work.
You even found major components with "Made In USA" on them, getting rarer to find nowadays.
No reason that same set up could not be used on crankcases as well with some simple adaptor plates and bits of old inner tubing.

Stick the photo on your PC desktop and rotate it _before_ posting. Most websites don't properly read/follow any rotation info contained in the metadata for the photo.
Looks great. I love that gauge.
Here you go:
I used Adobe Acrobat to rotate it. Then I copied it into MS Word and printed it to a PDF. I picked it back up using Adobe Acrobat, cut the magins to zero, and saved it as a JPG. That reduced the file size from 2.1 MB to 62 KB. Cheers!

Waaaaay too complicated... Right Click / Rotate (counter) clockwise!
Life is too short to mess with computers more than you have to!
Right click and then do what? Rotate with what? Please explain. TIA.

I am assuming that you are on Windows. I usually temporarily store images on my desktop but they can also be gotten to via Windows Explorer. Hove the mouse pointer over the file or image and right click. This should bring up a long menu and near the top you should see Rotate CW or Rotate CCW. Click on those until your photo is right side up.
So what is a pass and a fail on your gauge when you pump it up.

That rotate option from a long menu does not appear on my screen if I right click on the OP's image in post #1, and even if it did, the rotated Pic has to be saved back to this forum somehow. Steve, it might be a piece of cake for you, but not for me or others. What I like most about my procedure is the 35 to 1 reduction in the file size of the Pic in post #6 vs. the pic shown in post #1.

Yes, you first have to download the photo to your PC, rotate it and then repost it back to the forum.
File size reduction always comes at a the cost of resolution. In this photo resolution doesn't really matter but in others zooming in to see details won't be possible. If I am not storing the photo I don't really care what the size is.
If I copy and paste there are scissors and elmers glue involved. Glad you know what you are doing!!!!
thanks and awesome gauge!!!

These instructions are for a Windoze box. With Opera I am assuming that you have a Mac.
Free program that I have used for years. https://photofiltre.en.softonic.com/ works great for editing photo's.
Easy to flip, rotate, resize, compress, sharpen, change format, ect.

Doesn't matter if the photo is upside down, we can still tell what it is. Good tool and many of us have exactly the same thing, just need a few adapters to mate the tube to different size fittings.
I've always read 7-8 psi was the pressure to check. The first carb I checked with it (shown in pic), I pumped it to 8 psi. Would have held it forever, I guess the needle isn't my problem on that one....
