BX 2350
Hey everyone just received my BXpanded pressure test kit in the mail today for my BX 2350. Read trough the directions which are very helpful but just have a part that I am not clear on. When checking the pressure do I rev the engine to the rated 3200 rpms or to the rpms I usually run at which is about 2800 to 2900 rpms to check the pressure? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Do both.
Find out what the pressure is at different rpm's and let us know what the range is that you get. :)

It's actually covered in the instructions. "Move the throttle to the full open position (max. R.P.M.)."

There will be little difference in the pressure at 2,500 rpm and full throttle. However, checking at full throttle assures the max pressure will not be inadvertently exceeded.
