Sorry for the delay in reposting, appreciate the comments
The MityVac is the one I have here. And I had no problems with it. I use it mainly to pressure/vac test 2 cycle crankcases but I also do test carburetors with it. And being able to do both pressure and vac testing is necessity here.
How often do you Vac test ?
Both ABS and metal. Looks like it only does vacuum though

Hi Widget,
I could never see how you could justify the expense for the amount of work you do
I agree, way to specialised. I would just run cleaner through it and perhaps a kit.
True, though in my (lack of) experience, I've never really been successful in repairs. Have got a couple things started, but have spent more times troubleshooting and pulling things apart than fixing. I figure having a little pressure tester might help with that. I have a repair kit for my ECHO trimmer carb that I'm putting together, someone suggested to pressure test to ensure the needle seats good and there's no leaks.
Another one I've found is this style, which various youtube videos (including Donnyboy) use to test for carb leaks.

Just wondering, do you ever put a little Acetone in the fuel to help clean the carburetor? I heard a little bit can help clean it out, as long as you don't use Acetone often or a lot of it, it would be fine with the seals etc.. in the carb.
Thanks again for the comments
