I always rev to the governor , some vehicles tend to not register on the machine even when hitting governor limit (307 hdi etc)

these can be fun to get the machine to be happy with the readings.

Don't snap it open just down to the floor take about a second then off, your machine gets upset if you don't rev enough from memory??

When I first started MOT's last year the snap on rep showed me how to use the diesel smoke machine and said when I do the test don't rev it too much.

However reading the regs is a different story as they say you have to give it full throttle.

So what do you guys do ?

Do you rev it to the governor limit ?
