This is an Echo engine;
A trimmer actually; it's squirrelly when it warms, I've gone through the carb; and fuel lines; So I thought I'd check the seals...
I took off the rear cover (recoil housing) and the nut that holds it on the crank.
So I can see the seal now. But since the recoil housing is off, I can't really crank the engine over.
Should I put the soapy water (or some say wd-40) on the seal and re-assemble to crank then pull it all off and look?
Since it's a negative pressure what would I see anyway?
