Well i did my first leak down test. it went down from a 7 to 6 in i think 5 min or so. Well i couldnt find the leak and a had a jerry riged exhaust plug so i bought a plug and its all good now atleast i think. Well it still went down the same and no leake anywhere that i could see. I was hopin it was the reed cage so i took the cage off put some rtv silicone around it and still the same reading. I pumped it to 8 it went from 8 to almost 6 in 10 min then at 20 min it went down to 5.
im not burning tranny fluid so im hoping its the flywheel side is there anyway to check without having to buy a flywheel puller?]
would this be to much of a leak?

did you spray the tester with soapy water to check it for leaks????
i'd say run it, it held 6 lbs for 20 minutes ???
grip it and rip it, your fine
 
k, thanks it had a randon uncontrolable idle but the reeds had a huge gap and i flipped them will rock it for a while
