compression tester

[serrow]

anyone know what size fitting is needed for the compression test of our bikes? anyone got a good kit that already sells that fitting? couple of you have mentioned that your kit didnt have the one that fit the vmax

The kit I had also did not work so we made our own adapter. I took an old sparkplug and gutted it out so all I had left was the steel section. That took me well over an hour!!!!!!! Man, they really put the NGK's together well. I had to beat on that thing relentlessly to get all the ceramic to crack out enough to be removed. Then I had to beat it back into shape so the socket would fit it well if I needed to.

I then got my air fitting (hardware store) and a section of tubing and welded them together. Now I had something to thread in and be able to plug my tester into.

The kit I bought at Oreillys had all the fittings I needed and cost me about $40

what size is the fitting?

I looked at it last night and the fittings that come with it are 10, 12, 14mm.

I don't remember which one fits the spark plug hole.

You need 12 mm.
