I didn't test new ones because my goal was to see if my old ones were in spec or not... They all flow air. I suspect 99% of motor rebuilders just blow air through them as a go/no-go test. I was curious what pressure mine opened at.
Will report back with pics...
Catorce, what opening pressure are yours manufactured to?

Mine open at about 20-25psi just like stock.
You will not be able to see how they work if you have them mounted in the case....it's kinda cool. The stock ones and mine work identically. When fluid is pumped through them, they dribble at first, which happens in the 20psi range. It looks like a steady leak. All of a sudden, as the pressure is increased to about 35-45 psi, the dribble turns into a spray, and they make this buzzing noise which is the sound of the fluid passing over the coils of the spring inside the squirter. It's an angry hornet kind of sound that no one ever hears because its's drowned out by the motor.
So they open up and begin leaking as low as 20psi, but they don't achieve full spray pattern until 35-40 psi or so, and they level off after that. They flow a hair more between 40-60psi but the pattern looks the same.
Happy testing!
