How do you use a vacuum pressure gauge?
Run the engine at idle, low cruise (1800 to 2200 rpm) and high cruise (2500 to 3000 rpm). Note the vacuum readings, and any fluctuations, at each speed. Next, hold engine speed steady at about 2500 rpm for 15 seconds and read the gauge. Now release the throttle and watch the gauge as the speed drops.
Connect a tachometer and vacuum gauge to a none regulated vacuum source on the engine. Disconnect and plug fuel vapor canister vacuum lines. Start engine and run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature. Note the vacuum gauge reading and any variations in the pointer movement at idle and 2000 RPM.
How do you check fuel pressure with a vacuum gauge?
vacuum or pressure, you are just taking a reading of how it compared to atmospheric pressure. just unhook the fuel line at the carb, and hook it up to the vacuum gauge. start the car, and read the pressure. the engine will run this way until the fuel in the bowl is gone.
Can you use a fuel pressure gauge for vacuum?
Actrons CP7803 Vacuum and Fuel Pressure Tester Kit is a great way to fine tune carburetion and timing for peak performance and maximum fuel economy. Use to test fuel pump pressure, mechanical condition of the engine, vacuum control system function, and much more.
How do you use a vacuum fuel pump tester?

What does a fuel pump and vacuum tester do?
Use this fuel pump and vacuum tester to test the pressure on mechanical and electrical fuel pumps. The vacuum gauge can also diagnose improper valve timing, burned or stuck valves, sticking choke, leaking manifold, improper fuel mixture and more.
What causes low engine vacuum?
Low vacuum can be caused by low compression, intake leak or tight valves. The gauge needle bounces around a lot-uneven compression if the vacuum reading fluctuates within the normal range.
Does vacuum go up with rpm?
Vacuum decreases with load, plain and simple. RPM has little or no effect.
