Is there any criteria for these?
I fancy checking my vis motors as I have receipts from the last owner showing that both the balance and power vis valves have been replaced in 2009 and a catch tank added but nothing aboutthe motored and it'd be nice to check them out.
Cheers

I imagine vis valves are the motors. Always worth checking them though

Box of vis testing tricks arrived today.. will hopefully get a chance to play tomorrow & see if mine are working ok. Feels like they are, I always feel a kick at 3k rpm.. we will see.

Just so I'm sure...do I plug the pos / neg leads onto battery & then connect to each vis motor?


Who's next for it, pm address

Cheers

No mate - they are totally different. That is a kit that you install in your dash, and it tells you if they are working all the time with red or green lights.

This is the thread for people to put up that they are supporters and would like to use Kev's kit.

No James, the unit can test the motor in OR out the manifold.
