1.
source.
Run the engine at normal operating temperature and
2.
idle speed. A steady reading between 15 and 22 inch-
es indicates a mechanically sound engine.
PCV Valve Test For Crankcase Ventilation
Operate the engine at normal temperature and idle
1.
speed.
2. Remove the hose connected between the air cleaner
and valve cover or oil filler/breather cap. Plug the oil
dipstick tube to prevent an air leak.

FUEL PRESSURE TESTING PROCEDURE
WARNING: FOR USE ON FUEL SYSTEMS WITH A
CARBURETOR, OR LOW-PRESSURE
TBI SYSTEMS NOT EXCEEDING
15 PSI.
CAUTION: USE EXTREME CARE IN
DISCONNECTING FUEL LINES.
LEAKING GASOLINE IS A SERIOUS
HAZARD.
1. Check all fittings, connections, and rubber fuel lines
for leaks. If leaks are present, repair leaks before
testing.
2. Disconnect the fuel line between the fuel pump and
the carburetor or the TBI system. Attach the gauge
hose to the fuel line using adapters as needed.
