PTO seal test

How to test for a bad crank shaft oil seal on a skidoo rev. This video shows a bad PTO side seal. symptoms for a bad crank seal include backfiring, incorrect idling and in extreme cases, engine failure.

Using your sled with lean condition can cause engine damage. Just sayin. Good video.

Lol sorry but your test is bullshit. You didn't prove that cylinder is still firing that engine should be able to run on 1 cylinder.

[@skylersadventures1106]

Wow you need to do you damn home work it was running on both cylinder ya good

Goof

@@skylersadventures1106 not when you put your hand over the intake it not. I'm not saying the pto seal isn't leaking and keeping the engine running, I'm just saying the test is bullshit because the engine can still run with only one cylinder firing. Not only that but he didn't prove where the leak was coming from, he just assumed it was the crank seal. Then finally the dumbass said he was going to fix it by taking it completely apart which is fine if you want to rebuild the entire engine but why are you rebuilding it if there is nothing wrong with engine other than a crank seal leak. And if the engine does need to be rebuilt then the test would be invalid.
