Maybe I should buy a compression tester.I think all your probs stem from that leaky crank seal. Once you get that fixed I'll bet she dials in and you start riding her instead of her working you. Lol

No I pointed out a drop of oil under the magneto case. But then realized I had oil coming from the plug.I thought you said you had oil in the magneto side? Maybe that was @Aikaru, swore it was you. My bad, but naw unless the plug is hanging out the oil seep won't really take much compression. I'm thinking you have a gasket leak bro. It's all the classic signs. I even went through it when tuning 'ol red my nitro bike. Turns out for me it was timing, but you are a gasket leak. Runs alright when cold, little dinkin, but alright. Then a few minutes later when it starts to get warm it goes haywire and no two plug readings are the same. You richen it up and it gets worse, you lean it and it won't run. It's a bad gasket somewhere. Only thing it can be besides oh a cracked jug/case/head/etc.
Or did you say something about it dripping oil from the underside? I know I was helping some one that had a bad crank seal. Frogslayer was helping them too, gave some pointers on how to tap the crank seal in.
What a about a compression gauge? Wouldn't that show if I had a leak for any reason?No I pointed out a drop of oil under the magneto case. But then realized I had oil coming from the plug.
No, it will only show compression. You are thinking of pressure testing. You pump the engine up to 4-5 psi and then see how long it takes to leak it.What a about a compression gauge? Wouldn't that show if I had a leak for any reason?
Remove the mag side cover and take peak under there, see if there is a puddle.No I pointed out a drop of oil under the magneto case. But then realized I had oil coming from the plug.
Remember, that won't be "pag" oil that you will be recovering there, nor is it R-12 or R-134A either...lol...lol.Lol never thought about using my ac vacuum pump to test these 2 strokes
Thats why you do a collection cup before if you are worried. I used to use a ball jar as a collection cup for doing brake bleeds. With the ac pump as the vacuum. Really though it only runs a few seconds so doesn't pick up much oil if any. Any gas left will vaporize quick though. Then all ya have to do os change the oil. Its not that badly priced.Remember, that won't be "pag" oil that you will be recovering there, nor is it R-12 or R-134A either...lol...lol.
I did it because I don't have a pressure gauge but I have a multiple vacuum gauges.Lol never thought about using my ac vacuum pump to test these 2 strokes, that's a good idea @Karl Snarl way better than pressure testing cause you run the chance of popping out a crank seal with pressure.
There isn't. That oil came from the spark plug.Remove the mag side cover and take peak under there, see if there is a puddle.
