Sure, fancy equipment is nice, but many of us don't have it, and it is not necessary to get the job done. This entire series takes only a few minutes to perform once you get used to doing it. Step One Check regulated pressure. This is basic, of course. See if it holds pressure, if is should, and check the regulator for leakage and response to changes in vacuum if it is vacuum controlled.
Sticky regulators can be intermittent so just keep that in mind.
Step Two Check volume. Do this by opening the return line and flowing fuel into a container. This is better than checking it at the inlet line. Observing volume at the inlet line tells you if the pump can move fuel without working against any resistance. This just is not useful information.
