    You'll need special adapters that do not come with an automotive type, universal kit.
    Might want to see what's on the Snap On truck. Pegasus?
    Just need to borrow one? I hear bike mechanics can be befriended quite easilly with a 6 pack...

    Thanks. Looks like there's a few choices out there with the 10mm adapter that I need - everything from $55 to $300. While I'm not a "tool snob", I don't want a one-time-use gauge, either.

    I'll look around for a local 6-pack-bike-mechanic! Good idea, Mr. Coop!!

    I already had on-hand a leakdown and compression tester (from Longacre)... I was able to get just the necessary size spark plug hose from one of the online bike supply houses, think it was BikeBandit.com...

    Default local guage

    George,

    I have a snap-on compression guage set for regular automotive use. If you can get an adapter you can use it all you want. It may be possible to make an adapter for it using a spark plug. If your interested give me a call. 256-682-7849.
