Ooof! I highly recommend putting together your own. On top of all of the money you'll save, it's incredibly rewarding to make your own tool. This is my kit I put together...   I'd make one for you, but honestly, there are so many variables that it may end up taking some creativity on your end depending on the application anyways. Maybe we can help you put on together yourself? What's your improvement store of choice? Or do you use Amazon? |

I just feel it would be easier to commission someone to make it for my specs, that way they can have some fun making it and earning some money. I am just extremely uncreative when it comes to stuff like this. I am sure if I knew what parts I needed, I would try but I feel like it would be a bodge job lol |

We could help you through it. If you can tighten hose clamps, and screw in fittings you can do it. Here is mine. I'm going to redo it though as I can't use it with the engine in the bike.  |

I also don't have block off plate or anything like the plug used to block off the inlet so you can get air in correctly. |

ive made one. just need a pressure gauge, some block offs, i used old intertubes and a piece of plexiglass to cut mine out. and a shraeder valve like for pumping up a bike tire, you can get those and use and some plumbing tubing. remove your reed cage and block it off. block off your exhaust port. and then get a compression checker gauge. take out the shraeder valve in the hose so youve just got a hose that connects to the spark plug hole. on the other end, you can use plumbing tools to hook it into, then into your gauge and the shraeder valve on the other end. pump about 3-4 psi and watch for leaks with a bottle of bubbly dawn dishwashing liquid mixed in a squirt bottle.  you can see a little bit of it here in an old image I have. you have to remove the compression testers valve core because it won't leak past it if you don't to let you know the pressures going down. had to figure that out. you can even take the thing off the compression tester the hose clicks up into and put it on your T pipe adapter to hook the hose up to it with. a gauge on one side, bike shraeder valve on the other to use a bicycle pump to pump air into it with. a couple of block offs, since your pumping from the spark plug side, make sure you remove the reed cage because you might blow those, probably not. maybe even some smooth wood might work for the block offs, with some intertube rubber to make it airtight with. make sure the pistons at BDC so air can move easily through the motor. |

I just purchased the SSS one in the end. I have no time to sit around making one man, unfortunately. plus the SSS one looks pretty decent man and will last me a long time. I am starting my RC-ONE build soon, so getting all the needed stuff. I never use to pressure test, but with the RC-ONE costing as much as it is, I will be for sure doing that. thanks for all the pointers anyways guys  |
