Who wants to buy Leakdown Testers ???? If there is enough, I will build some !!!!!!

[Balzy]

Ok, I asked in a recent post how many guys wanted one. It didn't look like there was much interest there. I am asking again becuase I have had a fair amount of PM's and e-mails looking for them. I need to manufacture and build these things in pretty big batches or just isn't worth the effort.

Reply here if you are interested. If there is enough interest I will build a batch again.

I will only be building the "MEGA BALT" on this batch. It's what 95% of the people want anyway.

THEY WILL STILL BE PRICED AT $155.00 WHICH INCLUDE SHIPPING IN THE LOWER 48 STATES.

Here is a link to the site with the info.

All models come with complete easy to understand instructions. You can go to the instruction page on this website and download the instructions for all models. This is the lifeblood of troubleshooting any internal combustion engine. Without it, you are just guessing.

Unlike store bought units, the gauges on these are matched to insure accuracy. Even good quality gauges are +/- 2% so if you don't match up and calibrate the gauges your percentage of leakdown could be off by that amount.

Everyone remembers how to do a compression test: Screw in the tester, flip the kill switch to "off", hold the throttle wide open, and hit the starter. The cylinder takes in air and compresses it, and the tester traps it. The maximum is reached when the gauge holds the maximum pressure that the engine can produce. The weakness of this test is that throttle position, engine temperature, ambient air temperature, and a host of other factors can make the results vary considerably. What's worse, a compression test checks too many engine components at the same time. A poor reading can indicate so many things, it's hard to tell which engine part is at fault without doing a lot of other tests. A leakdown tester avoids this difficulty. Air is pumped into the cylinder from an outside source. The large gauge reads the percentage that escapes. This not only eliminates all of the aforementioned variables, but also as a bonus, makes it a simple matter to pinpoint the source of the leakage by rotating the engine while the test is underway.

We do take PayPal (https://www.paypal.com/).

*wave wave* Wanted one for awhile.... not quite blind yet but the big one is cool with me.

[gotboostedvr6]

why not the standard? you really don't need huge gauges to read a number lol

[85 enforcer]

interested in one please let me know 516-395-5483

[Scream And Fly]

Heyyy Mike! Guys, these leakdown testers are the tool to have. Amazing quality. Get them while Mike is offering them!

[ALLISOMAN280]

these are the 100 psi leakdown tester and i will speak for 1 and the standard would be better but if its the big one that will be ok!!!

[Jay Smith]

I've used mine a bunch and I now have the MEGA, (ole blind fart ) I've had the standard , I sold the std and went with the mega...

Quality tool indeed...

[mendo]

I will take one.

[GAUGE]

they can be used on any motor right?

[outboards4life]

I've used mine on lawn tractors, salt spreader motors, outboards, trucks. all kinds of ****. fantastic tool to have, wouldn't trade mine for anything. :cool:

[northeastcat]

Was just going to do a search for this, couldnt remember who was building them. I'll take one for sure.:cool:

[mr fun]

i'll buy one but you gotta tell me how to use it. i think a compression tester would hit a # every time a cyl hit tdc. is leak down the amount of blowby that occurs? i'm just not sure, please help, and yes i'll buy 1. fun out

[Balzy]

Gauge, yes they can be used on any motor, two cycle, four cycle, anything with a piston.

Mr. Fun, go here. You can download the instruction. You will get instructions with the tester also. Easy to use. http://www.freewebs.com/bttwracing/leakdowntesterinstructions.htm

Hehehehehehe,

PS to Greg if you're following this,
where did my my Amigos Racing artwork go anyway??? :)
Tried to get it back and got told that I ran out of space....................

[Stoker1]

Speaking of Amigo's.... where did all you old school boys get off to? Really miss the old gang from 7+ years ago. Good people to read & hang out with.

[trashy]

You can put me down for one.

[sixpac]

ill take one as well

[GAUGE]

I'll take one....what kinda price we looking at...

[mr_velocity]

I'll also take one, I also let some friends know so it may be more.

[hydroviking]

What a deal. Ill definatly take one and probably another for the shop. Also, do you have, or know where I could get, an adaptor for the 4 stroke outboards with the smaller plugs. Thanks.

[Balzy]

What size thread is on these smaller plugs? I can probably make the adapter you need.

[Balzy]

Go to the website link below for all the details but they are $155.00 shipped.

[150aintenuff]

What size thread is on these smaller plugs? I can probably make the adapter you need.

i think they are 10mm if im not istaken....

[hydroviking]

Hey Balzy, 12mm for that adapter. I looked in my merc tech guide and it gives me a part # MT26-18 from snap on but I dont see that # anywhere in the catalog or the pricebook. Im sure I could find one somewhere, but if ya could make one up easy enough, that would be great. let me know how much. Thanks again

or ya could put an NPT air fitting at the end of the BALT and use the compression tester adaptors for the respective plug styles... that is what I did on mine... gauge set has a NPT air female chuck on end and i use my compression tester plug incerts to test... 1 gauge 6 different adaptors all same readings consistantly across all adaptors due to only 1 connection per adaptor versus 2 connections on one size or 1 connection on anoter..

[trashy]

Balzy,

When are you going to actually take orders? I'm not in a big hurry, but would like to get one while you're making a batch.

[HiLift]

Cost for USPS shipment to Canada?

[Hank Lott]

I'll buy one!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Balzy]

HiLift,

It's usually $10 to $15 more for Canada shipments. If you give me a postal code I can tell you what it will be.

[Balzy]

Ok, we are getting close to enough to build a batch. With the interest here and the e-mails and PM's I have gotten we are getting close to putting this together.
<O:p</O:p

Please be patient and remember that "I" am the one that has to lay out about $3000 to get the components to build a batch. If a few guys back out and I have to carry units as inventory, it's money out of my pocket until they sell.<O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p

Tell your buds to get on here and commit to one. If we get about 6 more units, I can start ordering parts and hopefully I can start shipping in about 2 weeks.<O:p</O:p

[Liquid]

Balzy, I will take one, been waiting awhile for some to be made.

Please let us know when they are available for ordering. Should I pre-order one now on your website?

[cat06]

put me down for a mega

[trashy]

Orders being taken on the website?

[Balzy]

I will be placing the orders for all the components next week and should be able to manufacture the maniflolds in a week or so. If you want to prepay you can or you can hold off a few days until I start assembling and I will announce that here.

[Jason Huber]

Does this mean that I SHOULDN'T sell my Alli and get out? Is there a chance you're puting the band back together??? :confused: :eek:
To quote an old Amigo proverb from an old friend; " OH BOY!!!" :D

[Balzy]

I started subassemby on some of the hose parts I had in stock tonight. I should get my manifolds by the end of the week or early next week. I ordered all the expensive parts today. Everything I need to start shipping the first units should be here by the middle of next week.

Bottom line is I am ready to take payments now.
