Disconnecting gauges

If you have an extra adapter ell, use it with a pipe cap.

The problem I have is I have no clue what the size of the connections are.

I looked at the gauges in my parts book and I don't think the gauges match, but the parts book seems to suggest they may be 1/4" or 1/8"

I can probably hit the hardware store if those are the sizes and get some pipe extensions and/or caps. I just do not know what size would be the proper size.

-i find 1/8" pipe thread is super common for small lines and fittings...that's where a small box of misc fittings comes in handy...brass, copper, stainless...whatever....and if i don't find something that threads...i just use a plastic cap or plug...and press it on snug...

I use electrical tape as it can be stretched tight!

Ok, I might have inferred the question incorrectly, I was thinking he wanted to run the engine with the gages removed, so if not, just tape them up. Sometimes I just pull a small square of plastic over the line fitting and all then tape around the knob.

Yea, I see he says leaking out, But he didn't say spraying out! LOL!
