Quick question I hope. Does anyone know what millimeter thread is on a husky chainsaw. I’ve wanted to get a leak down tester and want to make sure I get the correct adapter
Thank you

Thank you for the reply I didn’t think it would be that big. What type of leak down / pressure tester does everyone recamend for leak checking a saw? The mityvac testers I have seen seem cheap with all their little plastic adapters
I have the metal mityvac. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002SQYUA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I'm not sure if it really makes a difference if it is plastic or metal they both seem to have about the same feedback on them.
Just make sure you get one that does both vac/pressure. Some will only do one or the other.

That’s one of the ones I was looking at. I just got intimidated by all the adapters Knowing me I’ll loose the only ones I need. I probably have thirty sets of Allen wrenches , and their all missing the same wrenches.

Are you able to adapt the inova adapters to the mityvac easily?
Take the adapter to local hardware store and go to their brass fittings, get a thread to barb adapter the size you need. You can even use plastic adapter as well, we are only talking about 7lbs of pressure max for testing seals. Some teflon tape and put the two together.
It all comes in a nice plastic box for storing everything so it helps keep all the parts together. Also you can buy just the adapters if you need as well if you broke or lost one of them.

Thank you very much for your response. I have a bunch of fittings at home and on the van, but probably not what I would need. I have an air compressor also but I would probably blow the cases apart. I’m kind of a tool junkie anyway
LOL, ya the air compressor is way to much, again we are only talking about 7lbs max on the seals and gaskets. The vid does a really good job of explaining it. Plus a vac/pressure pump allows you to test carbs as well.
As far as being a tool junkie goes I think I can hang in there with the best of them, there are times when it is actually easier to go buy a new one than try to find the old one.

Yeah I’ll check out the vids later today as I have a snow day. I had a pneumatic control job to do a week ago I had to retrofit the new part. Just trying to find a lousy 1/8” pipe x 3/16 barb fitting was a pain. Had to buy 3 fittings to make it work. I used to throw out all these small fittings years ago because they were cheap and readily available. Lately I’ve been saving them

I ordered the Mac tool version of the mityvac 8500 ($60 shipped) and the plews adapters (made in USA). Thanks for the tip lostone
No problem, glad to help.
