I Put the crankcase seals in my stihl 036 today after putting in the new bearings and before I reassembled it I wanted to pressure and vacuum test it but when I connected the pressure tester to the impulse line barb on the crankcase and squeezed the hand pump the pressure didn't move at all and the vacuum didn't either. I sprayed soapy water on the seals and cylinder base and no bubbles came out same with the crankcase gasket. My question is, is there something im missing? I used an intake boot with a spark plug on the end of it to seal the intake and for the exhaust I just made a gasket without a hole for the exhaust and I am using the impulse barb from the crankcase to pressure test it.
