Apply 3 to 4 pounds of pressure and it must hold steady a f it leaks down at all use soapy water in a spray bottle to locate where the leak is STIHL inc Virginia Beach VA 2011 23 Vacuum Test Tank Vent m The tank vent on the BG 56 is a one way check valve that will not let fuel leak out under pressure but will allow air into the tank as the fuel level goes down so no vacuum builds up leading to fuel starvation Reverse the tester into vacuum mode and pump hard and fast to see the needle indicate that some negative pressure is present in the tank m Watch the gauge and the needle should move back up towards zero rapidly a If the needle does not leak back to zero quickly the tank vent must be replaced and then re test STIHL inc Virginia Beach VA 2011 23 24 Inspect Intake Side Of Piston STIHL Remove the carburetor which will require removal of the trigger cover to undo the throttle link from the trigger Pay attention to how the linkage hooks up and how the stop circuit wires are routed STIHL inc Virginia Beach VA 2011 24 Inspect Intake Side Of Piston On most two stroke engines the intake side of the piston can be inspected through the intake port but on the BG 56 due to the stratified scavenge design the flange does not allow the piston to be seen On this model skip ahead to the impulse signal test and the crankcase pressure and vacu
