yes sir.Somebody got a Stihl dealer tool box?
Map gas works too.I have the stihl dealer tool box. Use the vacuum/pressure tester to test fuel lines and impulse lines is about all.
I know I am a contrarian. But , if you can't hear that a saw has a leak running it you may need to do something else.
Starter fluid with a nozzle to find it.
Propane also… get it close… if it revs up you found the leak…Map gas works too.
I've never done one yet, so I don't know. Why do them in that order?It is a guarantee that the problem will not bee a leak in the bottom end.
Yes it is nice to have a Stihl tool kit, but it is not necessary.
Many posts here and you tube on how to to it. Yes, you can buy a Harbor Freight pressure and vacuum tester and do the same thing.
And I goofed up. VACUUM and pressure, in that order.
I don’t, though it works either way.I've never done one yet, so I don't know. Why do them in that order?
You’re not wrong. But *accuracy* is less important as *consistency* in the measurement.My limited experiences with small single cylinder engines are to get a dedicated small engine compression tester. The automotive versions, at least my Snap On has a stiffer Schrader valve along with a much longer hose. A recipe for inaccuracies if there ever was one.
