sleeper06 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 I have an old school snap on , and a craftsman that I take on the road . Both read damn close to each other .the craftsman cam with a ton more adapters than the snap on unit and was half the price . I'm still a a snap on guy tho Quote
jbooker82 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) Just make sure the shrader valve is in the very tip of the hose. If you use adaptors and on top of the shrader valve that extra volume of the adaptor is added volume to the combustion chamber. This is why I bought a snap on gauge. It has the valve in the end and uses individual hoses for the different sizes of sparkplugs. Edited March 19, 2016 by jbooker82 Quote
sleeper06 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Posted March 19, 2016 My snap on has diffrent hoses too but I bought the motorcycle kit , craftsman had way more hoses Quote

An The hose for banshee/bikes is also the same depth as there spark plugs. Soo, Ya. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Bennett131 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Posted March 19, 2016 Will one like this be fine... Those are old school and a huge pain in the dick. That one would require 2 people. Quote
Larry's Shee Posted March 19, 2016 Report Posted March 19, 2016 Will one like this be fine... Junk, might as well stick your finger (or dick) in there. Quote
Kleinki Posted March 19, 2016 Author Report Posted March 19, 2016 Its from the 80's as long as it does what it's supposed to do im happy... Quote
Bennett131 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Posted March 19, 2016 Like I said, it's probably going to take 2 people and it's going to be a pita. Quote
Kleinki Posted March 19, 2016 Author Report Posted March 19, 2016 Explain why it wont do the job please.... Quote
Bennett131 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Posted March 19, 2016 Explain why it wont do the job please....Did you just buy that? Quote
Kleinki Posted March 19, 2016 Author Report Posted March 19, 2016 Yes i did... I lost 2 complete sets last 2sec and im not gone buy one from the USA... SA will fuck me with import tax Quote
trickedcarbine Posted March 19, 2016 Report Posted March 19, 2016 Explain why it wont do the job please....Because to get an a correct reading it needs to be sealed and at the depth of the spark plug. That thing is iffy at best when sealing and does not protrude in to the cylinder like a plug would. Quote
Kleinki Posted March 19, 2016 Author Report Posted March 19, 2016 My plan was to buy 2nd hand adaptors for it after i can get some info from you guys... Quote
trickedcarbine Posted March 19, 2016 Report Posted March 19, 2016 That gauge with a hose and proper fitting would be fine. 1 Quote
