ultimate pop off tester

[eel]

I thought I would share this as it works so well.

Grab one of these. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Buzzys-Polli...ryZ22691QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Im in Aussie so Im sure you can find one closer.

Replace the guage with a 0 to 30 or 0 to 60 liquid filled guage. the thread is 1/8npt.

put a 1/4" hose on the end.


Because its a long stroke, small bore setup, you can creep the pressure up and get consistant accurate results.

The mikuni ones seriously suck balls compared to this, and are dearer.

hey eel or wax, where are you getting those water filled guages

 

[eel]

winterstick, they are quite common. we got ours from Dawson on this site.

I noticed that my swimming pool filter has a nice liquid filled gauge, should have stolen it.

google "liquid filled guage", you will find them.

Bump, was the auction for a shock air pump?

Any feedback on the mikuni pumps?

 

[krusty_45]

Note, the gauges are "glycerin filled" not water. Any plumbing supply warehouse should have them. An auto store that deals with hydrolic lines would have them also, but mostly for higher pressure.

Mcmaster would be my first choice if i didnt have them locally.

The Mikuni pumps are expensive and stop working after about a year.:Flush:

 

[SuperJETT]

My Mikuni pump from '95 still works.

My Mikuni pump from '95 still works.

I suppose I should say under commercial shop use conditions,although I have never had one last over a year regardless of how much I used it.

 

[Ryan_G]

I use the new watcon pump. I think it works great. Seems like it will last.

I use my shop air compressor and a $10 pressure regulator and gauge. Instead of pumping I just start low and spin the regulator pressure up.
