Advice on leakdown tester
I went to the dealer to order a new leakdown tester and I was suprised when I found out that one from Kohler is $150 and one from briggs is about $170. I went to another dealer and he had a brand new Kohler tester that he just got in and he said he would let me have it for $100. He also had one from Stihl that was about 3 years old and he said he would let me have it for $40.
So what i'm asking is should I get the new one or the used one. He said Stihl would test 2 and 4 cycle engines but the Kohler would only test a 4 cycle.

Whats the difference between a new and used one aside from the obvious? What can break in one...I would go with the 40 dollar one...tests 2 and 4 strokes and is cheaper.

Unless you plan on using it alot, I would buy the used one if it's in good condition just in case you need to test a 2 cycle unit.
I have also seen them new for around 75.00, I believe I seen one here for less than that. www.jcw.com

There's no reasion to order a dealer specific leak down tester.
You can even make your own: http://www.lafishmag.com/LeakDownTester.html

This unit from OTC is one i've had for a while now, works great, and has a 10mm adapter for two strokes. I think/know I paid more than what this place sells 'em for, though! http://www.tooltopia.com/otc-tools-5...ricegrabber_r1
