Yamaha 540 SRV snowmobile motor

I noticed last season a clean area on the case which indicated a case seal leak.
This test proved it.


Sealing the intake ports
(bicycle tire inner tube material)







Sealing the exhaust ports







Motor - compressed air connected to the pulse line




Exhaust side
Notice the air bubbles / clean portion to the bottom left of the picture.
These are soap bubbles caused by a seal leak.







On the intake side a second leak was found - circled in green




The power take off seal looks good - no bubbles.
I'll not bother testing the magneto seal right now - both seals will be replaced anyway.  They'll be tested after replacement.
