the purpose of a leak test is to make sure your engine[crank case/cylinder area]is leak free.an air leak may or may not cause a performance issue,but will cause a lean condition which could destroy your engine.a leak test is 1 of the most important things you can do to insure the life of your engine
 
You may have to check if the pump has been disabled or removed.

And here is how to use and find leaks.

go into your user cp, find "group memberships" in there highlight the "forum supporter" option and click the "update display group" button at the bottom.
it will turn your name green and help everyone recognize you as a supporter
 
Between you, dirty and blaaster's insight the money was well spent. Dirtysquared, Carb just came today, thanks a ton. Went out and bought some pressure guages to do a leak down test. Thanks to everyone for the help, and I'll be keepin you guys updated on how she turns out.

reps for following good directions :)
now get that name turned green

no more than 7psi. when doing the leakdown test. a bicycle hand pump works best.
get a 1-1/8" Dorman brand rubber expansion plug from the auto store to block off the exhaust port
 
And I went in and did what you said, but nothin changed. Ill try again.


gotta click the "associate me w/" button at the bottom of the page to save the changes

edit: there ya go, that looks much better green,
and a couple little green rep boxes I:I
