With a 2 stroke it’s important that there is no air leaks. So I put some temporary rubber gaskets between the exhaust and behind the intake. Then I pressurized the crank case to 10psi and made sure it held pressure for 10 minutes. I also did a vac test (same thing but the crankcase is under a slight vacuum) to make sure the crank seals are good to go.
If you take the time to clean the mating surfaces well, use new gaskets with gasket dressing and follow torque specs the test are pretty much a formality. But you never know.
Had time to finish it up and got it started without any trouble... decided to add inlet strainers to hopefully catch any sand I suck up. I’m also going to add some fuel air seperators.
