DIY Tip - Air Leaks
Air leaks are common problems in two-cycle engines. Air travels through the air filter, carburetor, and intake port. After being compressed and ignited, an air and fuel mixture leaves the engine through the exhaust port and muffler assembly. If air enters the engine anywhere other than this path, it is considered an air leak and will affect the air to fuel ratio. This change in the air to fue ratio causes the engine tooverheat and possibly to seize (eizure is caused b terial from the piston, piston rings, and cylinder overheating, melting or welding together). <div∓t;
When looking for an air leak, check the crankshaft seals, cylinder base gasket, carburetor and intake mounting gaskets. The intake mounting gaskets are the most likely culprit of leak, but occasionally a crankcase seal may leak. If the crankcase seal is to blame, it is necessary to remove the flywheel of the engine to maintenance the leak.
