    If you have an air leak near the right crank seal, the saw was probably run hot with a dull chain and the right side of the case deformed. I picked up a rebuilt 350 and it was done wrong. I tore it down, ported it, and it leaked. Tore it down again, used more sealer, and it leaked again in the same spot, as pictured in this video. I ordered a new case and will be putting it together soon. I can see where the old case is warped and can see the impression of the seal in the plastic. Hope this helps.
  • You did a good job how to check a air leak on a 2 cycle chainsaw thank for your input.
  • Enjoyed watching your latest video on the chain saw. Was very informative great job.
  • You can also take the seal out and put a new one in clean up the area very good and use ultra gray around the outside edge to help seal the outside walls It will help feel any imperfections ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿค๐Ÿ™

    Use a old toothbrush handle, you can put a slint bend in it if you want to, works great as a piston stop

    yep, common place to leak. i put 1191 around that seal when i put the crank in my 345. Good video. i suspect i have a leak in my stihl 361 (kit from parts farmertech i put together. Do i need a carb plate to seal off the intake?

    Husqvarna 440 x torq is there a compression check it was 35 I put a new cylinder and piston kit I put it back together I didnโ€™t have a compression check and it was the same I was wondering if it could be the seals cause I wonโ€™t even start how much compression should have

    What do you have to do to fix that leak right there that's what you need to tell change the seal or use a sealant for the crankshaft seal

    What brand is your pressure/vacuum gun? Where did you get it?

    I think my Echo CS-400 has a bad air leak. It idles at half throttle in spite of all tuning. It has a new carb and new fuel hoses and tank filter. It about has to be the crank seals. I like the innertube to block the exhaust and intake. Inter tubes are high now just like everything else. I wouldn't have thought it would leak around the outside of the crank seal but there it is. Do you recommend any type of sealant around the crank seals?
