sounds like a big leak somewhere. be sure and check your tester as well. i got a bad one once....
Thats what I would check are you sure the tool is pumping air, you need to turn the screw on the ball pump tight.
Found the leak guys! I pumped up my compressor and just connected that to the tester, I made sure not to go over 6 psi on the gauge with a slight push of the blow gun. All the of air is escaping through the trans breather tube (escaping almost as fast as i can pump it in), the one up front under the cover to the left. So what are my options now? Crank seal?
Pull the covers and the clutch hub/flywheel . If you don't find the leak at the seals, it's your cases leaking then. If its a seal leaking, replace both sides.
Drain the oil, pull clutch cover and see if it's leaking from seal. If not you have case leak or broken case somewhere.
i installed the rebuilt motor last night and did some breaking in,also this morning have been working on breaking it in.I have ridden it around my front yard which is small and have not had it over 2nd gear while breaking in.
I noticed a leak looks like it right under the exauast pipe,but maybe between the top and bottom of engine, heres a pic..can anyone help?..its looks like its between the cylinder and bottom end.I have made sure the 4 bolts are tight.

Picture is awfull but i would think its the normal spooge that is very common at the exhaust connection at the head pipe.
i knew the pic wasnt perfect but i was just trying to show the basic location,im gonna try to post a better one in a minute.
Yes,,its just excess oil run off. I get it all the time dripping out my pipes as well as any connection thats not sealed perfect it will leak a black greasy residue. Very much normal on a 2 stroke. Thats if its indeed comeing from your pipe, that picture looks like a shot from a potato.
You really need to get your self a better exhaust gasket! I just had to! Cometic est FWIW! I:I
Yes that looks like exhaust spooge! Easy fix either use copper RTV or buy a cometic exhaust gasket, PN#EX350064AM will seal it right up! I:I
Black greasy spooge is quite normal if the exhaust is not sealing tight.
What oil and ratio are you running?
If you suspect a leak between the jug and case, do a leak down test.
A fresh rebuild should have an excess of oil used in assembly, and the spooge may clear up after a little running time.

Easy fix, but replace both sides seals while you are at it.
No need to split the cases.
My apologies for replying to a jacked thread, that'll teach me to read the whole thread. :-[
