Good job Marty, I made one using the bulb from a blood pressure tester that was discarded ; to pump up the pressure. Thank you for your tutorial, and all the best from New Rochelle N.Y.
update for 2022 prices: I sourced everything from Home Depot yesterday and it came to $40.88 + tax, with the 2 most expensive bits being the brass t-fitting and the 100PSI guage. And I found the bicycle pumps around the garage were all faulty, so I ended up ordering one of those too. oh, and don't try to use use the air filler attached to a compressor. Don't ask me how I know. 🙂 but as soon as the new bicycle pump arrives, I'm looking forward to giving this a try! Thanks!
They saw your video. I am planning on going to school at Martins sometime this year next month or so. You must live around Richland county area . I live in the awesome driftless area as well. Viola can't wait to go fly In my 40s and been saving for some time. But camping paramotoring sounds so cool cross country flight's. Never been flying but so knowing how this can be so addicting.
Why did you not just use you pump gauge to show the pressure. I understand it would not be as accurate but it will still show you enough info to adjust it. That way you only need valve to tubing mod
Just Harry Johnson I thought about that, but the gauge on mine is so jumpy and inaccurate, it wouldn't do the job. Maybe if you had a high end pump, that would work, but I don't trust the gauge on mine.
@@MartyG144 yeah that makes sense. I ordered my one but there are no specs on the engine about the pop off pressure so Its down to trial and error for me lol
@@MartyG144 hi it's a vittorazi fly evo 2 with a walbro wb32 carb. If that's any help. If you do off hand know the pressure that would be very helpful 😁
Chan Maneesilasan This is used when adjusting the spring in a diaphragm style carburetor. The strength of the spring controls how much pressure it takes to let fuel into the carburetor. This gauge allows you to make final adjustments to the length of the spring by measuring the "pop off" pressure.

Thanks Marty. That's a big help!
Hey great video thanks for the help!

Sticky Creek Farm Can’t wait to fly with you, man! I'm sure I'll see you out at the martins this summer.
Great video!!! Making one tonight!!
Very nicely done. Informative.
Thanks Marty. I’ll keep this in mind.
Muy bueno ! Gracias por compartir.Saludos desde Argentina.
That's pretty cool! 👍
Harbor freight is super cheap for these parts 🤙
What do you use to adapt the 1/4 inch hose to the smaller carb fuel inlet?
I would just use a hose clamp to make the connection tight if you have a smaller inlet
cool thanks
You should of built it.. for more show

@@justharryjohnson7250 What motor do you have? Also, is there a model number stamped on your carb? That would be helpful in finding the spec.

Just Harry Johnson 10-12 psi is what you're looking for on a WB32
What store sells all this? I've visited Home Depot, etc, but not seen any of these parts :(
Gary Popov every hardware store should have these parts. Home depot, true value, Ace, etc.
Sorry for my ignorance. But what is this used for?

Are you Ok.
