Ernest,

There is a Schrader valve in th= e end of the hose that has the two O-rings on
it. That valve will = cause the tester to pump up and stay up at the max
pressure if you are t= esting a piston. To test the rotary, you would remove
that valve a= nd watch the gage to see where it goes as each face rolls by the
plug.
There is another Schrader valve just under the gage that has a valve = stem
cap on it. It looks like a black button in the picture. = ;That is to release
the pressure after you have pumped it up with the pi= ston. Don't remove that
valve or the tester will not work for eith= er engine type.

Like this one?

http:= //www.jegs.com/i/Sunpro/885/CP7827/10002/-1

Where is the schrader va= lve you were saying needs to be removed?

I'm assuming the procedure = is to spin the engine with the starter and
eyeball the needle to see whe= re it is maxing out?
