[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 405347, member: 3278"] No....engine has to get rid of exhaust. There is always exhaust leaking, every older 2-stroke has areas that leak. No big deal. Comes out the exhaust reliefs at idle and as the pressure builds up in the exhaust housing other places will allow the exhaust to escape. If you run the engine on a hose and look around at places that are drilled for water drainage on the exhaust housing you will usually see exhaust leaking there as well. The area around the shift shaft definitely should not be a tight fit in the exhaust housing. [/QUOTE]
