Part number should be MT24DA1.

 

Postage a fiver, but still far, far cheaper than a new tester! Will report back!

Buy a handful - ported saws blow the things each time:001_rolleyes:

 

Just did my 346XP at 180psi - pop, another one dead!

[Adamam]

Yeah, I bought a few. Not worth the postage otherwise!

 

Blew both testers on the two Makitas I'm fixing. Both have compression over 175...

Yeah - they rupture the springs on the high compression machines - pull over the saw a little slowly until the meter has built up pressure - it works a little better but still can blow them:001_rolleyes:

I'll try this, thanks! I'm probably far too thuggish!
