Hey guys just did an air leak test and found one leak at the intake. Put on a new gasket and fixed that one. Still have another though that I can'tfind. II've covered the whole engine in soapy water and its not bubbling anywhere. Where could this leak be? Thanks!
 
I just made a thread on gaskets in parts review. Maybe its there who knows. the base gasket I mean. It could be in a few places. the oils seals, gaskets etc, How many pounds did you put in and for how long? I have had one time where it was actually my leak tester leaking at a fitting.. Scratched my head for a while lol.. :confused: The seals on the stator/flywheel side or clutch side..

Make sure your tester is leak free, spark plug is tight, and your exhaust plug is leak free. If it's none of that my guess is crank seals.
 
It leaked nearly as soon as I put in air with just a little hand pump. Held best around 3 psi but for only less than 10 seconds. I checked tester like 4 times and stil haven't found the dang thing
