Can use the pressure to pump fluid from slave to master on clutch from bleeder nipple. On a motorcycle air still trapped in the new lines.

Air bubbles are best removed using vacuum which will make the bubbles more obvious, and (if needed) repeat bleedind. On difficult systems like bicycles and motorcycles utmost care must be taken to vent the bubbles off the top and then use vacuum to guarantee you have the bubbles eliminated. Take your time and repeat your process as you may be reintroducing air from a leaky valve or fitting. See bicycle brake bleeding techniques for tips on push-pull bleeding and repeat bleeding. Or have your work checked by a good shop.

I concur with John P. Vacuum is best to ensure a good bleed because you'll be able to see the air bubbles and aerated fluid before clear brake fluid arrives.

Cannot change the pressure on the pump but you can use a pressure regulator in line after the pump.

Not on the one I received. It has a needle used for air-filled balls, but not the standard bike adaptor (see here http://bit.ly/13xsIeB). Also, I don't think that this pump is designed to deliver the high pressure that bike tires require. Hope this helps.

I can do both with them.....need to check pressure before I decide to add air or not. They make it much easier to check and fill on my motorcycles.

It is not built to hold the pressure. The button allows the user to bleed the tire pressure - so you can somewhat overfill the tire and then easily bleed down to the correct pressure.

Yes you can do transmission Fluid, Oil, Gear oil Power steering fluid Brake fluid . its Quite a little sucker, I have the 8qt. version. I wouldnt hesitate to suck out Battery acid with it. Tough rugged, well made. The silver tube on top is aluminum. Fluids dont get in there. It has a replaceable gaskets. I love mine. Wish I had thought of this . Great tool.

This pump is capable of creating the pressure necessary to fill a car tire. However, it can not attach to a valve stem without the correct hardware. Also, it would be very hard to use a typical valve stem connector and pump at the same time. It is possible, but I do not know exactly what fitting would help you accomplish the connection from pump to tire.

Not sure, it is made to attach to a standard 1 quart oil container to transfer the fluid to transmission, deferential, etc. I use a Mityvac for your application. http://www.mityvac.com/

I've never tried that, but I can't imagine it wouldn't do a fine job...you have a great deal of control over the pressure you can apply with this great tool. I hope that helps. Happy Valentine's Day!

Have not tried that. Depending on where the hydraulic oil inlet is placed, that could run the pump dry and ruin it.

You have to pump it to build up the pressure as needed, but then you just press the trigger for misting effect. It works really well, these saved us while waiting in hot, long amusement lines.

If it has a valve (like those on automobile tires) you can use it very nicely. If it has only a small spot, like a basketball, you'll need a needle valve first, and then you can use this pump. The pump itself works extremely well.

No the bottle you see is it. You fill the bottle with brake fluid (it is fairly large. Then attach the bottle to the reservoir using the adaptor, pressurize the bottle and then open your brake lines one by one to bleed. the supply of fluid comes from the bottle.

You could but unless you have a very long hose on the output and/or low water pressure what's the point? This is not a pressure washer, just a poor to mediocre transfer pump.

Not directly. The Airhead does not have threads on the upper part of the adapter, so does not work with threaded pumps.

No, the MV8000 is not used as a pressure pump. It can be used for multiple tests(engine, fuel system, cooling system, etc.) other than bleed brakes. Mityvac does sell products that do both(MV8510, MV8255, MV8257).

Tools using continuous air, or blowing, I don't think it would maintain enough pressure. Works great for nail guns, pumping up tires.
