Can I remove the carb and make a block off plate with a tap and test through there

Poulan 2000 with issues. I think it has an airleak. It has 120 psi compression. What is the best way to air test with the oiler

I got it running toda and sprayed it with brake clean and it stayed running and the rpms stayed the same. I did find a little kink in the fuel line though. Not sure what would cause it to stall when I cut sideways

How dose one go about pressure testing one of these.

It stalls if I turn it on its side muffler side down

Do the seals go in from the outside or do I have to tear it all the way down

Looking for a video or write up on how to do crank seals on a top handle 2000. Thank you
