It was over $100. which included a fitting that tested while the motor was running. I bought it at least 8 years ago, so I cant really remember. It was less if you jut wanted to test the fuel pump without motor running.

rozemab, can you read that gauge while riding so you can check for problems at different speeds and go through the gears?

After researching Fuel-Tool MC500, nobody has it in stock. They offer another model MC800. It is out of stock too.

Now, I'm being to wonder if Fuel-Tool has stopped production of their tester. The only items I could find were repair kits and the buddy gas sharing device.

Is Fuel-tool being sued or....... over their design ?

Seems so strange nobody has this product in stock!

One post I found says the CTA tool 3425 Fuel Injection Tester (~$100) mates perfectly with the female. Reviewing the specs does not give me a warm and fuzzy the CTA has the correct adapter. (There's always JIMs tester for $500 :0 )

Also, I'm researching what the connector part number is for the male mating connector. I have some samples arriving this week to test fit into the quick disconnect female on my FLHRC,

Will post my findings ASAP.

Rozemab, thanks for the info. I found somebody willing to sell a used MC500 and I should have it Tuesday. Then I'm going to take it to a place that makes hydraulic lines for all manner of equipment to see if they can come up with a hose and the right fittings to make that MC500 just like an MC800 so I can put a magnet on the back of the gauge and test fuel pressure while riding and have the gauge stick to the tank where I can see it just like I saw they do in a video for the MC800.
