Finally. I found a soul mate for my good friend in Podunk, Indiana. His name is Mr. Taryl Dactal. I heard he has great dental insurance, tho he never has used it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 just playing. Glad I found your channel. Got a sub for life.
The gauge on the pump is vacuum only. This particular pump is for bleeding brakes. On the top is a port to output pressure, with no gauge. The more popular pumps have a single port with a switch for either pressure or vacuum, as well as a dual gauge. This just what I happened to have in my toolbox, and how I modified it to pressure test 2T carbs. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
This is a version of Mityvac brake bleeding kit I purchased many, many years ago to assist with bleeding the brakes on my scooters. Not sure if they make this version anymore with the separate pressure port on top. The more popular pumps have a rotary knob to switch between pressure and vacuum, along with a dual gauge, all from the same port. My gauge only shows vacuum, hence the need for that low volume inline gauge on the pressure side. I appreciate you watching.
Lawnmower lady I have done the both tests to the carb and my pressure is dropping on both What do I need to change , the carb is a zama ( and it’s dry and detached from the engine )
Tomorrow I will spray the lines and carb with a spray bottle and soap and water to try to locate the leak as from 8 psi after 5 minutes or so it drops to 0
The carb gaskets, pumps, and diaphragms should be wet. The first test on the fuel inlet checks the needle and seat. Attaching to the other fuel barb tests the check valve. You really can't test the second one till you fix the first one. Hope this helps.
@@TheLawnmowerLady thank you for your reply it’s very much appreciated I have saved these notes and will continue with the tests hopefully I get to the bottom of this issue ( why the machine runs perfectly until after 10 minutes or so of running it begins cutting out )
@@TheLawnmowerLady oh it just kinda looked like it had OHV on top, I could be wrong though. Great video either way and thank you for sharing it with us!

You are very inspiring and I hope more ladies will follow in your steps
Thank you Mr Trent. I appreciate you watching. Cheers!
@@TheLawnmowerLady 👍
Good explanation. So many folks skip these basic tests and end up chasing their tails over something simple.
Glad you liked it

@The Lawnmower Lady
Thank you. The pump has a gauge on it. What is gauge for? Why do you need a second gauge? What can the pump do?
The gauge on the pump is vacuum only. This particular pump is for bleeding brakes. On the top is a port to output pressure, with no gauge. The more popular pumps have a single port with a switch for either pressure or vacuum, as well as a dual gauge. This just what I happened to have in my toolbox, and how I modified it to pressure test 2T carbs. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
@@TheLawnmowerLady Thank you. Is this type of combined pressure and vacuum pump available in the market?
@@adeyemibabatunde1814 Sure thing. The mityvac 8500 is a complete kit, it’s sort of pricey, but still good. Here’s a link to Amazon: amzn.to/3MjaDun
@@TheLawnmowerLady Thanks, very helpful
Nice tip Stella 👌
Thanks Morten! Cheers!
@@TheLawnmowerLady 😊👍you'r welcome
Isn't your pump a vacuum pump? So how do you get pressure instead of vacuum? Also, doesn't the pump already have a dial gauge?

Question: why did you not use the pressure gauge that's on the MightyVac tool?
That particular tool only measures vacuum on the gauge.
@@TheLawnmowerLady Gotcha... I noticed some of the MityVacs can switch between vacuum and pressure
@@darrenblanchard6232 That was a brake bleeding kit that I had purchased a few years prior. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
AWESOME.
Thank you! Cheers!

Isn’t that a 4-stroke engine?
No, a Troy-Bilt or a Craftsman, honestly don't remember.
@@TheLawnmowerLady oh it just kinda looked like it had OHV on top, I could be wrong though. Great video either way and thank you for sharing it with us!
