YesHi Gary,
Does the MV 8500 do pressure testing, too?
Thanks,
Dan
Anybody know if this is the same as the MV 8500 ? It's branded MityVac and it looks kinda the same...

Depending on the saw, there are several alternatives. The easiest, cheapest and most universal block off plates are wedge (trapezoidal) shaped pieces of neoprene (about $12 on ebay). These are inserted between the loosened muffler and carb, then the loosened bolts are retightened. This does not give you a vacuum/pressure connection, however. If you can disconnect the impulse line so that it is still attached to the cylinder, you're in luck. Just leave the spark plug in and draw vacuum/pressure through the impulse line. if not, you'll have to block the impulse line and use an adapter fitted to the spark plug hole. I have made my own from old spark plugs. If you go with factory block-off plates with nipples, it will be much more expensive and one size definitely does not fit all.
First saw up doesn't have an impulse line; it's a reed valve saw. I really just need to figure out where to buy the threaded metal nipple, preferably one that I can screw into a blockoff plate once I drill it and tap it for the correct threads. Is this something I can buy at the local Lowe's or Ace? Thanks
Any decent hardware store will have threaded hose barbs, you can also buy online from many places,First saw up doesn't have an impulse line; it's a reed valve saw.

I used this one the most. On 85% of saws
