kelpike Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Is a compression gauge and a gauge used for syncing carbs the same gauge? Obviously the ends would be different, but I'm wondering about the gauge itself. I am asking because I do not have access to a set of gauges to sync my carbs, however, Harbor Freight near my house sells Compression gauges for like $5 each. If they are the same, I could just buy four of the comp gauges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Airhead Posted April 13, 2009 Moderator Share Posted April 13, 2009 no, quite the opposite, compression gauges measure pressure up to around 200 psi, carb sync gauges measure vacuum as found in the carb manifold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
