Mine does have a SAP, but I've never tested it with my Foxwell, nor have ever heard it run (don't they all squeal or whine when running?).
I just tried to get my home-made smoke tester to work again, but it seems the heating element (a Performance Tool 120 Volt Soldering Iron) has burnt out, so I don't know if I want to try another element like it, though it worked OK for three test sessions, a year ago. My smoke tester is homemade, very low pressure, and probably not up to the job.
I've got 4 feet of silicone tubing 3.5mm id, and lotsa vacuum caps, and 35 feet of silicone tape to fix hose leaks, but until I've done a legitimate smoke test (that means that I'll need a lot of smoke, per Effduration in another thread of mine), then it's all guesswork. https://xoutpost.com/1218935-post23.html
