$3.50 bystarter tester :-D

Post by patthesoundguy »

Had this cool idea pop into my crazy A.D.D brain yesterday Image i checked on my spree its works well. I also shortly after buying the ear syringe went to pick up a vacuum brake bleeder kit which i need to do my. Front brakes on my van happened to be on sale half price and realised it will do the bystarter test as well, its the type of vacuum test tool they show in the manual. Gotta love princess auto :-D Image

How do you check a bystarter with a vacuum pump? I always use a 12v battery

You can't just hook it to the battery to test it, I have found that out. They can leak through the case which is super hard to diagnose as I found out or it may not extend all the way with no real way to know just by looking at, which I also found out. In the manual it describes how to apply air or vacuum to the by starter port on the intake side of the carb. Air should flow when its cold and not when its hot, or the other way around can't remember.
