My blaster is leaking between the split cases the bike runs good starts 1st or 2nd kick every time. Is it time for a rebuild or should try to tighten the cases? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Oil leak

Clean engine good and verify exactly were leak is first . before taking anything apart.
HX2 on diagnosing first. Start by cleaning it real good. Wether it leaks or sitting, after some time dust the area with some kind of powder, flour baby powder etc. Wet spot will show up
Clean it good. Making sure your good and dry. And dust like larry said. You are seeing the leak on the bottom. Butt it could be leaking higher up somewhere.
I noticed today a few screws being loose on both sides of the cases. What's best to tighten those Phillip head screws down with a impact drill? Thank everyone!
No Transmission is separate from crank shaft area. Crank area only sees what runs thru your carb. Basically air and fuel/oil mixture.leakdown test would check crank and cylinder areas for air leaks. Clean it and check it .
Are they screws that hold case halves together? Or do they hold side covers? No any loose fastener must be tightened
The only time you need to drain oil for leak down test is if you have air coming out of vent tube. That means you have to pull clutch cover and check seal/collar/keyway
Found the oil leak it's coming from the counter sprocket seal. I did a leak down test anyway and its also leaking in two areas around the stator side cover with the rubber seal? Can I apply sealant around the rubber before putting it back on or just order a rubber gasket? Thanks everyone!
How much pressure are you using for you leakdown test?. 5 or 6psi is the normal test pressure. Any higher can create a. Leak . if it is leaking out stator cover that side crank seal is bad.
And if the left side leaks the right will be soon to follow
Unless it holds the pressure for MINIMUM of six minutes without leaking, you have a leak
Unless it holds the pressure for MINIMUM of six minutes without leaking, you have a leak
Let's hope the right side holds once I get the new seals on the left side and pressure it up
Good thing you found that air leak. That has the potential to meltdown your top end in a hurry
You really should change both at the same time.probaly both old.
You really should change.......both.....both....both.......I hear an echo, echo, echo
I got the crank seal in the mail today it came with a set of two. When I pull out old seals do the bearings require oil or packing grease before the new seal? Whats it take to do the right side crank seal? Thanks again
