Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): 2 cycle vacuum tool, vacuum kit, snap on tools


Question
Does any company still make a vacuum kit for the 2 cycle engines (that include the block off plates) to test them for leaks (crankcase & jug gaskets). If so, a part # would be great too. I already know about the gauge to push air thru. I'm assuming a chainsaw company still might have one. Thanks for any help.

Answer
Hello Craig:

The Vacuum Tool Used in the Shop is About 25 Years Old. I Purchase Most of these Tools from Snap On Tools or Mac Tools. They have a Local Repersentative that Comes by Once a Week. You can Also Check with your Local Automotive Parts Retailer and they May be Able to Order a Vacuum Kit for you. One of the Shop Mechanics Purchased 1 About a Year Ago thru NAPA Automotive Parts Retailer. I will Try to Remember to Ask the Tool Company Repersentatives for More Information Next Week. If you Wish to Remind me, then Follow Up on Monday Night 05/05/08 At or Around 8pm EST US. The Tool People Come by on Tuesdays and Wednesdays of Each Week. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck
