[NSRCA-discussion] Fuel Line Pressure

[DoWayne Gould]

I used a pressure gauge off a Snap-On coolant tester. If I remember right it
is a 20 or 25 psi gauge and cost under $20 for the replacement gauge. Like
everybody else I used a tee setup in the line I wanted to check pressures
on.

YS 4 strokes pressurize the tank to about 9psi. 

I measured the tank pressure with a T and a meter.

So, I guess this means that the fuel feed line is 9psi as well.

Never tried this but I read about it and meant to try. Just tee the line
going to the carb and run a piece of fuel line up a stick, wall or what ever
with the top of the line left open, start engine and see how far up the line
it goes. This won't give a specific PSI measurement but it sounds like a
good way to get a reference to analyze or adjust with.

Does anyone know what the nominal fuel line pressures are in .45 - 1.60 size
engines is? Is there a known source for a measuring gauge?
